You used to be able to get lions sung from @
inkwell6
Drummond Safari Park. You can get those plastic spikes to lay on ground. Or a motion detor that blast a sound or makes like a water pistol. The only thing that detered my cat was the lion dung. But the neighbours weren't to keen on it.

I think at one point to could get lion dung online. See if you can now. I'm going to turn part of the glebe into a veggie plot. I'd be after lions dung if I can source it. It was good.
