I have a problem with feral cats pooping in my garden. :(. I keep scooping the mess out as I find it, but they have trashed my peas that are still very small and tender. I’m thinking about putting down newspaper between my rows, do you think that will work?
On the positive side, I got my greenhouse megastore order this week of 4” pots, trays, and plant markers. YAY! I have a bunch of seedlings coming up, veggies and herbs and flowers. I got new potting mix and extra perlite. My little hothouse is pretty crowded!
Have you tried a .22?
For a more humane solution then "plinking them you might first try a motion activated sprinker. If that doesn't work, they get nasty.

Get a box of picnic forks.
Plant them with the tines up where you don’t want cats to walk.
To get rid of cats you might try dog hair placed here and there within the garden. It works to keep out coons when my corn is maturing. I just pull out small handfulls from the vacuum bag and stick it around the garden. Works 100% for raccons. Never had a cat problem so don’t know if this would work.
