I've heard cats don't like the smell of coffee, recycle your used grounds, just scatter/spread them on your garden also good for soilHelpful Reply -

You can buy cat repellent at the hardware store (Home Depot) in either a liquid or pellet form. We use the pellets and so far it has worked great. It needs to be reapplied after it rains.Helpful Reply -

I laid chicken wire out on the ground. They can not dig through the wire but your plants still grow through the gaps.Helpful Reply -
