I have a really good device that has a sensor on it just like a security light does. You put it the lawn, set up the height and distance of the sensor and attach it to your hosepipe. See it here:

Not cheap but utterly brilliant.
When the cat walks across the area covered by the sensor (and it can cover a big area), it shoots a jet of water from side to side for about 3 seconds and kitty gets it. Fantastic - the cats hate it!
I will be using mine again as soon as the frosts have gone as one of my new kitties has decided the lawn makes a great loo. :mad:
Can be a bit of a problem though when you forget about it being there (as many a wet leg can attest to!) and my dog loves it.....

hello everyone just thought I'd ask you all what apart from a dog!!! can I use in my garden to stop them using it as a lavatory. I have seen the instruments that make a high pitch noise do these work and other stuff called lions roar, which is ok until it rains.
Please if anyone knows of anything that works let me know!! cheers and thanks for any responses leachy.

Get yourself one of those high powered water pistols and give 'em a good squirt whenever they come in your garden. If it's one particular place they're using put down something prickley like holly leaves or rose prunings.

I have heard that cats don't like the smell of black pepper or surgical spirit. Apparently if you put it where they did their 'business' they won't do it there again. Not sure of it works, but maybe worth a try?

Subject covered many times in the past. Get yourself a "ultrasonic cat repellent system" got mine from Ebay 8 months ago and I have not seen 1 cat's pooh in my garden !. Has been outside all winter and working fine. 2 types a) mains powered via a small transformer (like a telephone) or b) battery powered. Mine is powered from the mains.

We have two cute bunnies and have had trouble in the past with cats coming in and scaring the poor wee things so we have stapled chicken wire onto our fences (on both sides and joined the wire together) so that the cats cannot walk or climb onto our fences anymore. At the back fence we have put chicken wire at an angle (like you see these barbed wire security fence type things) so that they cannot jump over it. Seems to have done the trick.

Now we just need to try and stop them coming into our front garden. I love throwing cups of water at them - especially when I get a bullseye:D
