That's a tough one! I've used some products designed for that; but I

have much luck with them. Here are things I have read, but not tried: 1)
Citrus
(orange, lemon peels) will discourage the cats. 2) You can try taking
some
chicken wire and burying it (shallowly) in the area. They won't like
digging
there then.
The only thing that worked for me was to put a litterbox outdoors.
Believe it
or not, they used it instead of the front flower bed.
Don't know about all cats, but this would work with Little Bit. Back
when I let her stay outside during the day she would hold it. Once I
got home and let her in she'd make a bee line to the litterbox. Of
course I received the "glare" once she was done with her business for
making her wait so long. I sometimes wonder what she did while she was
a stray.
Hope you find a solution!

Good suggestion Steve. I'll pass it on to my sister. She can place it in the
spot where
"Sugar" keeps digging. Thank you
