I used to use a cheap low powered electric BB gun to send plastic BB's into the bushes around them when I saw them coming into the garden. It wouldn't have done any damage if I'd hit one but I always shot really wide, the sound of the BB's hitting the leaves made it a scary place and they just stopped coming in quite quickly.

Re: cat problem
i just have chicken wire fences around the edge and netting on top to stop birds, also as a cat owner i can say that a squirt of water will keep them from comming back.

Nothing will stop cats, they're like zombies 
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

Re: cat problem
An update from me, I bought a couple of cheapo water pistols from the pound shop on monday and have been blasting every feline that has come into the garden. They seem to have got the message!

Re: cat problem
I used to have this problem, I have 2 cats who seem to invite all their mates round to poop in the veggie patches!! I have chicken wire on some and on one I have built large covers from wood and some net curtain material which also keeps the bugs out!

Re: cat problem
Best thing to solve it without damaging the appearance of your garden and forking out on cat repellant's that half of the time does not work
orange peel works very well and its free
or
lavender is my personal favorite it attracts bee's to help with your veg and other plant flowering and looks and smells great
if they do not work then you have some pretty stubborn cats on your hands and a super soaker looks like the next best option

i tried orange and lemon peel and they did not work at all, normally cats don't do there business on there own land they prefer other peoples nicely dug flower or veg plots
Re: cat problem
I have cats of my own so no strange cat's dare go into my garden. (Nor do mouse, rats, moles e.a.. Well, they do try but usually get killed)
To keep them from pooping in the garden I have iron wire over the bed's and pot's or iron fences which can be removed when the plant's are bigger.
My neighbours all have concrete and/or dogs so no problem's there.
