Cat leaving poop on paving slabs

I like to think of myself as a decent cat owner, having trained her well, making sure my cat does her business in the back garden, but sometimes she craftily does so in other gardens. Recently I've noticed some cat poop turning up at the bottom of the garden, always at the edge on the paving slabs. Its never covered, and even after sweeping all leaves up it still shows up now and then. In all my 15 years of owning my cat I've never seen her poop on concrete or any non soil surface. So I didn't think it was her. In fact, it isn't. I've kept her in this week at night, and some time in the early hours the mystery cat poops, leaving me to clear it up again and again ¬_¬
I've heard of deterrents, but whats going to work on a wide area that isn't soil? I'm a little stumped tbh. Why would a cat do this on non soil?

There is one cat that comes to mind. A male that frequents our garden earlier in the year, yowling until my female cat hangs out with him or gets fed up and leaves. This cat has twice beat up my neighbour's cat leaving his cat with such a terrible wound by his eye he has had to visit the vet twice. Makes me think this cat hasn't been sprayed. I'm sure that cat fits the dominant tom cat role..
Indeed. I do try to deter and stop mine from doing it in other peoples garden, especially when I'm in the front tending to the plants.
If it is another cat, for your own cat's sake you need to try to stop it coming in. A stray took up residence near us and started beating up the neighbour's cat on a regular basis. In the end we trapped the stray and took it to the CPL. They will help if it's a stray or feral cat. If it's a neighbour's pet cat, there's not much you can do except try to make your garden harder to get to in the hope he goes elsewhere.
