Cats in the tulip bed ??

There are a couple neighborhood cats (feral??) who have decided that our tulip bed is an excellent toilet.  Soil is soft and easily moved.  Unfortunately, in the process they have dug up quite a few spring bulbs.  Has anyone experienced this?  Is there a remedy other than replanting in what has now become a septic field?

Just collect the bulbs that have been dug up and put them into a big pot of soil, and then put the pot in a cold garage till you see growth.  Be sure they stay cold and very dark.  You may want to put a piece of cardboard on top and check it frequently.  You could also put the pot into an old refrigerator in a cold spot or if it is running.  Just be sure to keep them dark.

For the cats, cut a piece of chicken wire large enough to cover the bulb bed by over a foot.  The cats do not like walking on the chicken wire, nor can they dig in it.
