Yep, motion detector water sprinklers.

Bonsai group agrees for both cats and squirrels.

From what I hear, deer can get used to it, tho.

Good luck,

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?

Motion-detector sprinklers (batterey operated detector) aimed at
the beds

chicken wire OVER the mulch.
