A shotgun?
Afraid I'd like to keep my professional qualifications... And ideally amicable relations with the neighbours!
The mother in law scatters pepper on her veg plot to deter cats. I’ve heard that some people use lion dung, brought on the internet.
Last year I transplanted the cells into the ground in the greenhouse and the plants did exceptionally well. We had more than enough basil whilst the weather was sufficiently warm for it to keep growing and open froze so much that we still have a little left even now.
I never had an answer for that despite being asked many times. One of my clients once put a note on a culprit's collar saying, "keep your f****** cat out of my garden or I'll shoot it". It didn't work and he didn't shoot it
Land mines? Sodding things go everywhere in our garden unless I cover the beds. I’ve found that putting in metal staples upside down (ie points upwards) is a good deterrent around anything newly planted. They even sh*t in large pots if there’s not much planted in them.
so I’m constantly checking for it. 
Had a very similar problem when I lived in Norfolk. I found that a large agricultural netted fruit cage solved most issues - it also 'forced' me to adopt annual heavy mulching amongst other things as it meant stuff was grown far more 'intensively' than normal.Land mines?

The worst thing is that our spaniel is quite partial to cat poo
Sadly they'll defecate elsewhere in the garden or drive if they can't get the veg beds. Need something more permanent but less lethal.
My dogs seem to sort out any cat that dares to come into the rear garden now - however the front is open and the little sods even sunbath on the grass sticking the proverbial two fingers up at the dogs barking at them through the window - they do think twice though sometimes especially when I open the front door and one of dogs happens to rush the door - luckily its a very quiet neighbourhood with very little and always slow moving traffic - cats can run fast when they need to cant they!
My mother soaks old tea bags in jeyes fluid and puts then all over her garden!!!!!!! Environmentaly friendly isn't top of her list

they are a nightmare in the garden
Have found that they don't like coffee grounds which is also a good mulch but you need industrial quantities of it to be effective. Starbucks used to give the grounds away but noticed they have stopped doing it.
Try nemasys
Yes thanks. I have used Nemasys previously.
