Yes, the cat has claws but at 17 it's getting too old to run away fast
enough and keeps getting bit/scratched on the bum.
Ammonia? I don't know, will it work better?

Don't spray toxic substances try improving/cat proofing the fence. If it's
wood add several ft. of chicken mesh (fencing) using wood frame or slats to
staple it to. Cats dislike metal fences and will not climb the fine metal
lattice after testing it ( the wobble & claws get stuck in it).
