The same fence netting that keeps out the deer will keep out the cats...seriously, it's not expensive. The metal posts are pretty spendy but nothing says you have to use those.

I had a problem with my neighbors cat getting into my garden beds and doing its business. I set several mouse traps in the cats favorite spot and after a few days the cat decided to move along. I actually watched as the cat squatted over one of the traps and when the pooper landed on it the trap went off. The look of initial confusion was priceless. The cat was no worse for the wear = it had already been fixed. Better than shooting it.

Our neighbors laid wire fencing (2"x4" spacing) over their new raised beds. I haven't asked, I assume it was because most of the households here seem to own at least one outdoor cat.

You are positive its the cats?
Seen with my own little eyes.
Well, in the beds, anyway.
Not sure about digging up the stuff

I just had the same problem with my raised be garden plot.
The "enemy cat" outside (which my own cat hates) has been using it as a litter box.
I planted my peppers and onions, and found cat turds and dug up plantings.
So today I went to Home Depot and bought a roll of thin mesh netting and surrounded the raised bed with it.
The cat will have a surprise this evening.

I have feral cats here, one in the hay barn and five under the house. My suggestion is just ask them to leave the garden alone, no digging up plants, no toilet. They do understand.
Tryed moth balls......Did'nt work. Some of the moth balls were buried in with the cat scat.
