Some cat repellent devices emit ultrasonic sounds only audible to cats, and they can be placed in specific areas, such as around bird feeds.
Water devices also spray a jet of water in the direction of anything that passes in front of it – including cats – and since cats hate water, a sharp blast of water might stop them from returning. Just be mindful of other wildlife that uses the garden, such as hedgehogs, as they can be targeted by the water jets too.
