Cheap dog toy

A good cat deterrent
Hi, does anybody know of a good way from keeping cats out of your garden. We have tried endless things. I have 2 rather large dogs roaming freely, but they risk life and death to use my garden as a toilet! It's only a matter of time before my Rhodesian Ridgeback catches one.
