Shoo cat, don't bother me

Miss Robin asks:
There are some cats in my neighborhood that have taken a shine to using my flowerbeds as a litter box.  I don't want to hurt them or anything, I just have no idea how to get them to not pee in my petunias!
Strong scents and creative planting are the best way to humanely control critters in your gardens.  Marigolds around the perimeter of the plot will keep away the bunnies where as cats tend to stray away from eucalyptus and lavender.  Although I am told it works, I would stray away from using moth balls due to their toxicity.
