Default Cat Deterrents

What'a worked for me is a garden gate, really.
I used to have this problem with 3 out of 4 neighbours having cats (one
has 2 cats). I made sure there were no holes in my fences, all gaps were
boarded up and I got a 6 foot gate to fill the gap between the house and
my garage.
Now I have a clean garden. All the cats are too fat to jump the fence
and have no other ways in. I don't think it's the ultimate deterrent, but
by making it harder to get into my garden, they've taken the lazy way
out and now crap somewhere else. However, I believe that if everyone
around here rasied the heights of their fences so I became the easiest
target they critters would probably learn to pole vault.


The moggies around here (which seem to be breeding) can easily scale a 6
foot fence, so that is not an option.
