Hope it works for you.
I like cats, but know that they can be a nuisance.....the citrus thing worked for me.
We bought a new leather suite a few years ago and within a day I found my cats clawing the leather(they loved it) so I rubbed all the corners with either lemon peel or orange peel....they don't even attempt it anymore.
It is kinder than shooting them....and no bodies to dispose of
