Sprinkle some cayenne pepper or chili powder.
Rocks & marbles on top the soil.
Also teach them the meaning of the word, cat-a-pult. They know they’re being naughty.
we put pebbles or gravel on the dirt in our plants to keep our cats out of them. You can use gravel from the driveway, round river rocks sold in the Dollar stores or other places crafts are provided, or river rocks you retrieve from river beds yourself. Just place them in several layers for small stones or one to two layers for fish sized river flat rocks. The water will trickle down through them when you water your plants but your cats won't dig if you put enough "stones" in their way.
