I've been plagued by a stray cat that is determined to use my herb bed for their personal toilet.
I've tried some of the usual tactics to discourage it like cayenne pepper, orange peels, and netting buried under the soil. Nothing worked until I saw “How to Keep Cats Out of the Garden” at veggiegardener.com. The answer was a simple inexpensive item, (though a not so aesthetically pleasing one), that has worked for me so far.
Look at the picture below. Have you figured it out? Yep, plastic forks! Just place them tine side up about two inches apart. It seems that cats don't like the feel of the tines against them so they stay out.
P.S. You could use the clear plastic forks which would be a little less noticeable.
