In my part of the country, many people shoot them. That is not always an option.
Talk to your other neighbors. Chances are that you are not the only neighbor that has a problem with these cats. Several neighbors, banding together, may have more influence than you alone.
If I was in your situation, I would advise my neighbor that I was going to live trap all of the cats that I could and take them to the local pound. You can buy a live cage trap at any farm supply store for around $20.00. It could cost your neighbor a lot of money to get their cats back from the pound.
You might want to call your local health department and or animal shelter to find out what the law regarding stray animals is in your area. It could be that the authorities will take care of the problem for you.
Good luck with your problem.

I don't know about cats, but there's an old story about a guy who got fed up with his neighbor's dog coming over and peeing on his tree. So he leaned a metal plate against the tree and wired it to a battery. Problem solved. Not sure that it's true, but I'd like to think so. Good luck.

Sprinkle blood meal on the garden. This seems to stop them from using it for a toilet, however they will still walk across the garden.

One of my neighbors used to plant mint around her garden to keep the squirrels and rabbits out, maybe this will work for cats also.

We put a container of bleach behind the bushes and keep the lid off. I don't believe the container is full. It totally works for us.
