I heard cats can't stand citronella oil so peel seems to make sense

And clove oil masks their smells, so if they've sprayed somewhere, are are far less inclined to return.

AHEM
Sorry Nat, I did see that. I have a large odd shaped garden and it would take a lot of doing, assuming I need to put them all around the edges. If I put them across the drive we would have to move them to get in and out. It's on my options list but not at the top.

Ah, so perhaps I could spray clove oil across the drive and then should I scatter peel randomly, in the areas they poo most or around the edges of the garden? This is like having our own little advice show going on, like Gardeners' Question Time, but with poo. 
Putting down a bowl of ginger beer helps.

Really? Surely it wouldn't keep them out of the whole garden? I'm signing off now but will check in tomorrow to see if there are any more pearls of wisdom from you cat experts. Thank you and bye for now. 
Fine shit in their litter boxes give them a taste of their own medicine

I don't have any advice that I know works, cos I've not wanted to dissuade cats from my garden. Is a shame you've got such loud cats near you! The ones round here are well behaved.
Hopefully someone has some ideas.
People always mention that tiger manure stuff from garden centres. God knows if it works.
Is it one set of neighbours that have all the cats? Are they friends, and have you mentioned it to them? Maybe they could put a pile of sand in their garden which could possibly direct a bit less of the poo your way.
I'd be really embarrassed if my cats were pooing on someone's driveway like that.
I've heard about Lion manure, not Tiger, but I suppose any big cat would do the trick, if it works at all.
Cat pepper sprinkled around is supposed to discourage them. It makes them sneeze or makes their bums hot or somesuch.
