Every day I have to go out and clean up after them. They dig and make a mess for me. Is there any deterrent like a spray that I could put on the ground to keep them away.?

There are deterrents on the market and other things you can do that won't cost much. In the 1st link, scroll down to "Your Garden" for ideas.
The other links are products on the market.

Hang mothballs in a nylon stocking around the garden so they don't touch the ground. Replace when the rain eventually melts them away.
But really, why not just toss a little more dirt on the poop and let it be? The strays around here all use my flower garden in front and it's helped the plants grow like a Brazillian jungle out there! It's great fertilizer!

use lemon juice the cats don't like citrus, also I had a lot of pine cone from a trip up to the mountains, layed them in the flower bed and it does keep them out. And if I see them I keep a spray bottle and chased them away.

Put down chicken wire next year and have the flowers grow through the wire. Alternatively, you can cut out holes where existing plants are. Cats h.a.t.e. walking on chicken wire. They also can't get a good "dig" after they poop.

There are sprays that you can use but I think thats a waste of money when cayenne pepper or coffee grounds work just as well.
