Like I said before, cover the area with gravel or coarse bark mulch and they
will stop.

If you make the soil like a litter box, the cats will use it as one.

Ok, I'm looking for a few good solid ways to keep these blasted cats from
using my beds as a place to "relieve" themselves. I've taken cuttings
from
my roses and tossed down -- there's not enough to go around and they just
don't last forever. I'd prefer not to put chicken wire under the
mulch.

Any other suggestions?
