Deadly to cats
Put a few pavers in that area. It's not like you are trying to grow anything in that area anyway.
Reconsider involving firearms.
he spells neighbors as neighbour and tire as tyre so we can safely assume that firearms is not an option in his corner of the world
Motion activated sprinklers on the other hand
Call the cops. have a meeting with the cops and the lady. Maybe she will get the point and keep the cat in HER yard. Our neighbor's dog is always in our yard yapping barking at chipmunks. I holler real loud like there is about to be a murder, and the neighbor gets the point and calls him in. We got coyote, owls, hawks and eagles. Feral cats don't last long on the prowl up here. Our gigantic orange boy is kept inside.

Not an option shooting you neighbor's cat, unless you like to get taken to the shed. Then to the juzgado. You know that place for compulsive sociopaths
It's in a highly visible area so I don't want a chicken wire fence. But I've been thinking of covering the area of interest with horizontal chicken wire with a skim of soil over top. That would look fine and make for hard digging.
We have owls, hawks and eagles as well. The eagles soar over our neighbourhood quite often. There should be a nice updraft with wind coming off the water and going over our peninsula to make for good soaring.
The cat may be someone's lunch.
Whoa, that's harsh. Effective, yes, but harsh.
Heavy duty tin foil covered with a thin layer of soil would work. And less weeding as well.
It's not "nature" when domesticated cats kill songbirds. It's a big problem actually. People that own cats have NO RIGHT to allow the cat to roam the neighborhood. There are leash laws for cats and dogs....they need to be obeyed period. I'm so sick of neighborhood cats walking all over the hood of my just washed cars. Rude and stupid owners.
There are few municipalities in the US that require leashing or prohibit the free roaming of domesticated cats. You may feel that cat owners should be required to keep their cats inside, but virtually nowhere except in large cities is that the law. The closest you get are anti-nuscence laws, but try calling the cops for cat prints in your car and see where that gets you. Try to do something about it beyond loud noises or the garden hose and you will run afoul of plenty of anti-cruelty laws

LOL as someone who has owned several cats, good luck telling one what it should and shouldn't be doing.
You're right about the laws. Not too many areas restrict cats as they do dogs. Why? I have no idea. Regardless of the law, it is highly irresponsible for cat owners to just open the front door and allow their cat to roam the neighborhood. It's an intrusion on others property and a nuisance. Most cat owners don't give a darn....they just don't care about their neighbors. Cats should be kept inside.
Fixed your post for you
I asked my cat what she thought about your opinion. She said you should be grateful that they grace you with a visit.
