I also had this problem. My solution was to use 4' x 4' raised beds.
I then built a 4' x 4' wire cover to put over the bed until the plants
filled in enough to discourage the cats. I used a plan that Mel
published in Organic Gardening Magazine. It is very easy to make and
turns out to be very portable. It involves nailing 4  1" x 2" x 4'
pieces of wood together with a wire screen streched over the top.

In my experience, the best way to keep cats out is to use a physical
barrier. Or else have a dog in the area to discourage them from stopping
by. But then you have to worry about the dog running through the garden
:-)
