Also, how can I get rid of the pee smell the cat left behind?

Hi there...Common odours that are effective deterrents for cats are:
Citronella works best for cats as well as citrus scents such as orange or lemon (primarily towards cats), cayenne pepper, coffee grounds, pipe tobacco, lavender oil, lemon grass oil, citronella oil, peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, and mustard oil.
"Havahart's Cat Repellent" uses capsaicin pepper and oil of mustard as its active ingredients. It repels by both taste and odor, has a lemon scent.
Every animal responds differently to each of these. Some will not be phased by them and others will be quite revolting.
For training purposes they are applied on items that are to encourage avoidance behaviours and not for use with a squirt bottle as they could harm the eyes or respiratory system. Test each substance and observe to see which works as a deterrent so that accidental injestion does not occur as some could then be fatal.
Coleus plants can be effective, but every cat responds differently so it is uncertain without experimenting.
Many people believe mothballs work, however they are considered toxic. Here's more information on this:
http://www.cvm.uiuc.edu/ope/enotes/showarticle.cfm?id=89
MOTHBALLS are toxic to cats which contains the ingredient Naphthalene. Mothballs are approximately twice as toxic as paradichlorobenzene, and cats are especially sensitive to naphthalene. Signs of ingestion of naphthalene mothballs include emesis, weakness, lethargy, brown-colored mucous membranes and collapses. Paradichlorobenzene mothballs may cause GI upset, ataxia, disorientation, and depression. Elevations in liver serum biochemical values may occur within 72 hours of indigestion.
To clean the urine odour consider purchasing Nature's Miracle for Cats found anywhere worldwide at any pet store. It's an enzymatic neuteralizer which breaks down thed urine proteins by soaking the affected areas with the solution and allowing to air dry. Repeated applications are necessary for heavily soiled areas.

They don't like anything citrus smelling, meaning you could put out old oranges or lemons cut up in the yard. Or you could put out mothballs...this is also good for getting rid of skunks! The pee smell will eventually wash away when it rains enough, as long as it hasn't peed in your garage.
Good luck!

Cats will not eat mothballs, but they will LICK it, which is why the person above me is uninformed. Seattle's answer is the best solution or capture the cat and turn it into the animal shelter. If it belongs to someone they will have to go to the shelter to pay to release the animal.

it relatively is going to take a whilst to get the scent out, pass to the puppy save and purchase the spray for cat urine, it enables yet would be awhile earlier the completed scent is long previous, you additionally can try utilising vinegar and fabreeze. Oh and as quickly as a cat sprays it continuously sprays so leave it outdoors.

Go to your local pet store, there is this stuff you can buy that is specifically for that. It looks like white powder & you just sprinkle it where ever you don't want the cat around. It works! Very well!! I'm sorry I can't remember the name, just describe it to them & they should know. It is also enviromentally safe! Incase you or one of the readers are wondering...

Take the cat and turn it into a cat welfare shelter. You will need to bring your checkbook, and make a $10.00 surrendering fee.

Moth balls are the best, no type of animal will come into your yard with that smell. And besides, if a cat smells these moth balls, they will run from it. Cats DO NOT EAT MOTH BALLS. As someone suggested above me.
