I am having a big issue, with stray neighbor cats in my area, pooping in my garden bed. The thing is, that it is just that one garden bed out of 4 that the cats keep going in. The bed is not very big and it is outside our front door. I have tried using coffee grounds, because I have heard that will help, also have read that orange peels and stuff work, but here are my concerns. For one, the bed is outside our front door and I am concerned they will attract more flies than I would like, and two, I am starting to wonder if, since that is the only bed they will use, if maybe they have just put their mark on it and no matter what I out down, it will not repel them, because they have made their "mark" on it. I am wondering if maybe I should just start new and empty out the flower bed completely and get new dirt and soil?

You can use several methods to stop the cats from pooping in your flower beds.
Put sticks and branches in the flower beds.
Use a spike mat around your garden and near the flower bed.
Use strong scents such as citrus in this area.
Spread around some crushed pepper in your flower bed.
Cats don't like cayenne pepper. You will have to reapply after watering or rain, but it works.
