You cannot! Cats will be cats, dogs will be dogs, kids will be kids. Not

my
gardening obsession.

Are you one of these weirdos who feels so unloved they need to have
five cats or more?

No I do not have any cats, I once had a dog, I do have a kid and a garden. I
am just not one of 'these weirdos' that think my whole neighbourhood should
walk around my garden from ten meters distance, because otherwise they would
destroy something.

I do not want anybody or animal to walk around my garden at 10 meters
distance. However, I would prefer they do not walk, or worse, through my
garden uninvited. In the case of dogs and people, there are a number of
acceptable means of recourse. Regretably, a small proportion of cat
owners feel they are entitled to allow the animals they claim to own to
enter neighbours gardens without permission. Even worse, I seem to have
no legal or social remedy to prevent or discourage this infringement of
my property.
