Well, I can send you a continuous supply of dog pee if you'd like to try it!

I found the cat scarer that is a detector linked to a hose pipe works very well but don't know how to use it if you have your own cat.
Keep your own cat in for a few days,purchas some Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and spray around the infected area then say goodbye to your pesky cat as their paws are extremely sensitive to this stuff.After a few days give it a good hose down.
I use it to clean my patio and brewing gear and my next door neighbours cat does not venture onto the patio and is about £2.50/£3.00 a gallon.

Sounds like a good plan i could spray it on the top of the walls that surround my garden my useless cat doesn't jump above sofa cushion height so there is no danger of it being effected (the walls are nearly 6 foot tall)
I assume you spray it neat on the walls etc does it stay effective once its dried?

Sodium hypochlorite is the chemical name for household bleach by the way. Brand name bleach is about a 4.5% concentration and the supermarket thin stuff as low as 1%. I'm not going to Google if you can buy it neat in case I end up on some kind of list and I wouldn't want to go near it anyway!
So would thick household bleach do the trick if we picked a couple of dry days and put it on top of the walls?
Yes it is. But get this... I've read somewhere that cats love the smell of bleach. Certainly, one of our four cats is attracted to it and would no doubt lick it if given the chance. Maybe he wouldn't be so keen on the perfumed stuff.
As a bleaching agent for domestic use it usually contains 5% sodium hypochlorite (with a pH of around 11, it is irritating). If it is more concentrated, it contains a concentration 10-15% sodium hypochlorite (with a pH of around 13, it burns and is corrosive.
We have a dog and a cat and they both **** in the garden, as well as some other firkin cats from around our street. I known if I put any of the mentioned deterrents down, they'd all just **** on them too...
The thin bleach is usually about 1% NaoCl.The thick stuff about 4.5%ish but there's other stuff in there as well including 'soap'. If you are going to splash this stuff around its worth trying it on test area to see if it reacts in any way, although the thin stuff is unlikely to.
Has anyone tried Jeyes fluid?

I use jeyes for cleaning the patio. It works but STINKS like a public khazi on Margate seafront for days afterwards! The internet seems to think you can soak teabags in jeyes as a cat repellent and I might try that to keep the little blighters out of our vegetable beds this year.Has anyone tried Jeyes fluid?

If you are still having problems cut some bramble stalks up into 12" lengths, cost nothing and they do not like thorns. Last forever even when dried, better when dried in fact.

Whatever happened to "spry crisp and dry"?
What size holes would i need to drill into the concrete yard to allow the bramble stalks to stay upright?

No need to drill holes... just bunch them up into nice tidy sheafs (plural?) and they stand up on their own. :p
The main problem with all the ideas is that you have a cat of your own. Our little cat scarcely left the house and never really went further than the back garden. Every other cat that came in the garden seemed to beat her up. She was hopeless, though, as a feline and seemed to think of herself as a human baby.
