Sloat carries a couple products that can help you. The first is Critter Ridder. It is a granulated, pepper based repellant that is safe too use around your vegetables. You can directly sprinkle the product around your garden. The second is Liquid Fence Dog and Cat repellent. It has a much stronger smell and is designed to be sprayed around the perimeter of the yard or garden boundary. Once dry, you will not notice the smell.
Another trick that can be used is to sprinkle orange peels where the cats are going. They dislike the smell of orange oil. It is possible that the product Orange Guard will work as well but it's not listed on the label for this purpose.
