Cats how to stop them messing up the garden

We have tried bottles filled with water, cat spray and granules all to no avail, does anyone have a suggestion.

Cat alarm? They give out a high pitched noise which can't be heard by humans. They are movement activated and have a good spread of about 120 degrees.
(alternatively, a high pressure car washer does the trick but you have to see them first. Before someone sets the Spanish SPCA on me, keep your cat from messing in my garden, digging up my flower beds to use as a toilet and spraying all over my gazebo curtains)

oops!

Tea bags soaked in Jeyes fluid and put where they go, they hate it and give it a wide berth

Cat love cat nip not hate it.Nepeta cataria is ecstasy for cats they will not be put off coming in any garden that has that in it.

Quite right senior moment I was thinking of cockroaches it's a real deterent for them.

Citronella, Lemongrass, Eucalyptus and Lavender are plants that will deter cats and with the benefit of detering Mozies as well.

I tried tea bags soaked with jeyes fluid but the cats just scratched them away, in the end I sprinkled hot chili powder everywhere, not nice I know but at least it got rid of the cats !

I have had loads of cats over the years & the only thing that does work is cat hating dogs -- sorry no help at all unless you want a dog!!
