Answer 2

call animal control, they can come and set up live traps and get the cats and take them to the shelter where if their owners want them back they will have to pay a fine and if they don't (which  they may not want to, since they were dumb enough to let the cats out in the first place) they can go up for adoption where they can find a good HOME.  

or you can tell your neighbors to come over every day and clean out your garden a few days of having to do that they may think twice about letting their cats outside.

You can buy a citrus spray, or cut up lemon and/or orange peels and sprinkle them around and in your garden.

  Cats hate it.  ayou can also spray your car tires with citrus spray.  You can find this in the cat food section of your super market.

Answer 13

To keep cats out of the garden, the best thing to do first is to lay some soft netting down in rows in between all the flowers. Placing several rocks at the edge of the netting to keep it in place better. You can sprinkle a thin layer of soil over the netting, and use decorative rocks so it‘s not obvious why they are there. If any cat tries to dig in the soil, their claws will get stuck in the netting. Next, you can apply some repellent to the rocks. You can purchase some cat repellent at any pet store. Cats don’t like the smell of citrus fruit, so it is an excellent deterrent for gardens and plants. Citrus scented cleaners can be another means of keeping cats out of your garden. Be aware that you will need to re-apply this occasionally since the scent will wash off with water.

Never use mothballs, because they can harm the cat. Mothballs are composed of naphthalene and/or paradichlorobenzene; both are toxic substances. By law in the US, pesticides can not be used for purposes other than stated on the label. Mothballs are a pesticide. Scattering them over the yard for repelling animals is definitely not on the label. Mothballs have been implicated in several poisonings of small children who mistake them for candy. The label almost certainly states that they are not to be placed where they can be accessed by children. They could also be hazardous for animals such as cats and dogs.

Also burying orange peels may deter cats, but it will attract other animals like raccoons.
