    A water scarecrow will work if it's cats but you'll get wet yourself occasionally when you forget to turn it off when you are in the garden!

    Looks like fox to me.  Can you smell fox?

    I've never seen a cat dig a hole like that, even when trying to get at moles heard tunneling under our lawn.  I suspect fox or maybe a loose terrier.

    Water scarecrows work on foxes too, and herons, but you do need to move the sensors about occasionally so they don't learn the trigger places.
