Moth balls around the perimeter of the porch might help. The cat is creating a scent marker and freshens the scent each day. You need something that has a stronger scent to deter it.
Buy some inexpensive cinnamon or pepper from a Dollar Store and sprinkle around the area. I use cinnamon in my flower beds to deter the behavior. Also, there's a spray available at Lowe's, Home Depot and garden shops called "Cat Away" that works too. In my area the spray sells for $15.00 and it smells like cinnamon. GOOD LUCK!
Put cayenne pepper on the porch. The cat won't come back. Then you can sweep it off. I've done this and it works.
I have had the same problem and discovered I was the cause of it. I was feeding the stray cats. As soon as I stopped this, my problem went away.
Scatter items around the area that cats don't like. These can be orange and lemon peels (cats dislike citrus smells), cayenne pepper, chili pepper flakes, coffee grounds, pipe tobacco, and lavender, lemon grass, citronella, peppermint or mustard oils.Scatter pine cones in the areas. Ponderosa or other prickly cones work best.
