Have heard cats don't like the smell of mothballs. Where I live nr. Baltimore MD cats are supposed to be: 1) licensed; and, 2) not allowed to roam into/onto other people's property. Must be kept in an enclosed area.
Spread hot pepper flakes or sprinkle cayenne pepper wherever you do not want them to go. It will need to be replaced if it is blown or washed away, but it is inexpensive.
Ammonia in plastic containers with holes poked in them . Pour it on cheap toilet tissue or old rags. Hope it helps.
I also use the red peppers flakes but I use it for the deer. . My cats have not used the ones with the red pepper flakes . They also will not use pine bark nuggets .must be hard on their feet .they will use the shredded mulch but not the nuggets . You may try the pine bark nuggets mulch .

You can try Repels All, it works for me, also moth balls are a deterent
