I don’t wanna mess with their breathing or hurt their peets

They don't tend to go near it at all. I've used it on a fence as a paste to keep a neighbourhood cat our of my yard, and to keep my own contained before I built their cat run.

How it it as a sprinkle on the ground/doorstep? And if I can’t find a small thing of chili powder could I use one of those Hoyt’s sachets of cayenne pepper?

I’m a bit worried about tracking it inside for Melbcat to walk on and lick from her feet.

Don't know about the cayenne pepper. I got 1kg for $5 at the grocers and just spread a line where I didn't want them to cross. I reapplied it after rain and they didn't go near it.

Kind of just want them away from the windows and doors so will see what I can easily find
