I have had a problem with MY cats replanting my garden for years.
It seems they are not stupid, and prefer to dig in the softest
soil in the yard (usually recently planted with carrots).  The 
best solution I have come up with is to cover fresh seed beds 
with 2" mesh hardware cloth until the seedlings are big enough
to defend themselves.  Watering also helps as cats do not like
to get their paws muddy.  I really do not care if they dig between
plantings, it just makes it grow better next year.
