I've place sticks around to make it prickly in all of the soft areas of the yard and I've sprayed critter ridder and sprayed a sent of citrus, garlic and black pepper as a boarder around the front and back yard but nothing seems to be working and the cats are not even scared of my little dogs I think the dogs are scared of the cats. Please help my yards turning into a giant litter box (yuck).

Use red pepper or chili powder. One sniff and they eventually learn. May need to reapply.
Time to break out the motion detector pet deterrent hose attachment....kitty don't like water.... https://www.amazon.com/Hoont-Powerful-Outdoor-Blaster-Repeller/dp/B01N3P1JTG/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1504841396&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=motion+detector+pet+deterrent+hose+attachment get some teflon tape to attach around the hose. Move it around once in awhile so they don't get used to it being in one place.
You can place pieces if 1/2" screen just under the dirt or mulch. There are also sheets of little plastic spikes that sit just under the mulch. It won't hurt them. As a cheap alternative ,bury some plastic forks with the tips sticking up out of the ground. Good luck.
Get a cat of your own maybe!
You're welcome
WOW! Surprised red pepper or chili powder didn't work. You can try puting nails through some boards, bury the boards with nails sticking up. Some people stick plastic forks in the ground with the tines sticking up.
Best wishes........
Always a pleasure.....
