1. Help other cats and animals

One suggestion:
It takes less than a minute to go to the Animal Rescue site and click on "feed an animal in need" for free. This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.

2. Is there any alternative than using the garden as a litter box?

Answers and suggestions by our memfurs:

You could do what meowmie does and make a part of the garden specifically for your cat(s). Plant cat attracting plants in this area. Catnip and catmint are both beautiful plants and your cat will be drawn to that area of the garden. Leave clear areas that kitty can use as a litterbox and clean them regularly, just as you would the indoor litterbox.
I have heard there is a new garden plant, Coleus canina, on the market. It is marketed under such names as ‘Pee-off’ and ‘Scaredy cat’. The plant has a pungent odor that is said to repel cats and other mammals from the garden. It should be available from garden suppliers. I haven't been subjected to this plant, so I don't know if it would repel me.

I haf a history of digging up the onion sets in a garden myself when I was young and going outside! My mom used to lay chicken wire over a freshly planted garden to keep us cats out of it until the plants were all sprouted and growing. We just loved to dig in that soft dirt! It's natural! Aa the garden grew, it got packed down between the rows and wasn't so attractive. Of course if you don't already have chicken wire because you have chickens, that could be purrty expensive. There are products in spray cans for keeping cats off furniture and fences and so forth, which maybe could be used on the ground if it's a flower garden. But you wouldn't want to if it's a food garden! Also you can lay down newpapers or plastic between the rows for mulch. Many humans do that in gardens, anyway. But the only really effective thing is probably going to be keeping the kitty inside. We are strictly indoor kitties now, but I know all kitties are not.

Maybe you can try to spray some lemon juice around there or citrus fruit. Kitties don't usually like the citrusy scents and will stay clear of it and it won't hurt them at all. Maybe they could buy some juice, dilute it a little with water if they like, and then put it in a spray bottle and spray the area.
