Even with a dog, you may still have strays spraying outside your home. They do this to mark territory. Pet stores have different products to keep cat's from spraying. Before you put out the deterent pressure wash your house, porch to get the smell away. Putting down fresh mulch or wood chips will cover the odor in your flower beds. Good Luck, stay nice to all animals!

One of the commercial cat repellents available is a powder called, "Shake-Away." Shake-Away bears the scent of the urine of predators that cats fear, namely, the coyote, the fox and the bobcat. This commercial cat repellent comes in a granular form, which you simply sprinkle around the problem area. The product is advertised as being organic, making it an acceptable option to use around children and pets. Nor will it harm your plants.
Try sprinkling "stinky" substances around the problem area, including:
dried-blood fertilizer
mothballs
cayenne pepper flakes
ammonia
Note that mothballs are toxic if swallowed, so avoid their use if small children will be in the yard. Note also that some people caution against using cayenne pepper in this fashion, claiming it can be harmful to cats.
Some plants give off smells that cats dislike. One such plant, Coleus canina, goes by the common name, "scaredy cat plant." As the second term in the Latin name indicates (think "canine"), it is also effective if you have trouble landscaping with dogs. Other plants often recommended for keeping cats away from yards are:
rue,
lavender, which deer pests also dislike
pennyroyal

I saw a product on a HGTV show where a woman had a problem with cats, raccoons and skunks. The man suggested a product that was or was like coyote urine. The scent of the predator's urine discouraged the unwelcome visitors from coming around.

You can go to this link :

They have a few humane cat repellents such as an ultrasonic cat motion detector which I believe emits a high pitched noise humans can't hear but cats dislike. There is also a motion activated sprinkler that will spray them when they come into your yard. Both will discourage without harming the cats.
Good luck!
the full link to the detterents is listed below.

Pet stores sell various products for the yard and house, sprays and such, that are supposed to keep cats away. Haven't personally used them... but it's worth a shot.

avoid leaving food outside for your other pets, especially at night. and get "dog & cat repellent" pellets, i got mine at bi-mart. it worked well to keep my outside cat from going poo in the flower beds, i'm not sure if it would work quite as well for your situation, but it might! (it smells like onions)

I use cayenne pepper. I just sprinkle it around the porch twice a week. Keeps them out of the garbage too.
They come to your house because you have no cat to claim the territory.

Why would you want to keep cats away? Anyway, i think you could just get a dog, a slow one... so it doesn't catch them lol, but keeps them at bay.
