Unfortunately, cats will do their business wherever the substrate is soft enough to bury their waste.

The best way you can stop cats from digging in your mulch and most other parts of your garden is to buy one of those cat sillhouette features ith the glass eyes. These are well known cat repellers as they look like another cat staring. As staring is a form of challenge to cats, they will generally get uncomfortable and stay away. They definetely won't do the toilet anywhere near it.

Alternatively, some more natural methods would be laying twigs (without leaves) on top of where they are doing it, planting plants such as geranium, lavender and rue, making hazelnut shell mulch or keeping the soil moist by giving it a quick spray with the watering can or hose a couple of times on a dry day (cats hate muddy paws).

First, take the cat to the vet. If there are no urinary tract or otherwise problems, place litter boxes in places where he/she should not be doing his wee-wee or poo-poo. If you can't do that (like if your cat is doing his/her business where you have to walk), make the place where he's going as unattractive as possible, and the spot where he's supposed to go as attractive as possible. Put a rug under his litterbox, and don't clean the box too often. Turn the place where he's going into a feeding station; he won't do his business near his food. Place the litterbox in a quiet, easily accessible place (young kittens and senior cats don't like going up and down stairs a lot). Remove every bit of evidence of his urine from the place he's been using (don't use cleaning products containing ammonia, they'll smell like pee to the cat and he/she will attempt to cover it by peeing again), also, you can temporarily put aluminum foil in the place where the cat's not supposed to go (they don't like the sound or feel of aluminum foil, so they'll avoid the area. Also, spraying lemon scent will repel a cat.

Hope this helps.
