daily toilet!? I recently bought a new house. When we moved in the garden was a dump. Now, we've just landscaped it and a number of cats still use it as their toilet - is there any device that can keep them out?
 
My parents had that problem and they noticed that the cats had one point of entry, which was jumping from a neighbours shed onto a railing and then down into the garden. My parents then cut up a length of plastic piping the lenght of the railing and clipped it onto the railing, thus making the railing super slippery. The neighbourhood cats tried getting in once or twice but soon learnt their lesson and stayed away.

Really like the water bottle suggestion, I'm going to try that myself (as my parents solution can't be done in my garden), it seems like I would work.
 
Plastic bottles filled with water, seems the cats see their reflection in it and runs away.
 
Splash a little Ammonia around. Try to keep it away from the plants. It is a fertilizer but you still dont want to get it directly close to your plants.
Ur you can get the bark mulch the larger the chunks the better and spread that around. Which you should do anyway to help keep the weeds down and maintain an even moisture in your garden. The cats wont like it.
 
yes that water bottle thing does work we did that and never got cats in the garden again
 
My cats have always hated the smell of mothballs. If they still make them why not scatter them in the areas of your garden.
 
just wet soak the dirt every day when the ground dryed up.get very hard to dig they give up and move elsewhere
