Unless your cat is severely pampered and spoiled a little hot sauce might
do it some good. The only adverse effect I have noticed when feeding
animals spicy food is a persistent licking of their mouth. A flood of
saliva perhaps. So, hot chile sauce will not hurt your cat in the least
and would probably be an effective method of keeping him out of the plant.
Not only that but the cat will provide a good 20 minutes of entertainment
while it licks it's mouth and sneezes.
My two cents

We have five cats who like to bother us at meal time. Occasioally they get a
little too close to our food so we grab them and smear some tabasco on their
nose...talk about entertainment...they lick and shake and sneeze.
Our Bassethound (Chile Pepper Houndini) on the other hand loves the stuff. I
put hotsauce and/or ground peppers on stuff I want him to stay away from and
he goes after itwith a vengance. He loves the hot stuff. I guess he's
living up to his name. My fiance says he takes after me..."THATS MY BOY!"
