How do I keep the neighbor's cat from disturbing a nesting Mallard duck in our flower bed? It keeps pooping close by the nest, but I hardly ever see the darn thing.

you can put lavender or pennyroyal plants in area surrounding the nest; cats are repelled by these scents, also of a plant known as Coleus canina, AKA "scaredy cat plant."
you can also purchase acquire a 'scarecrow sprinkler' which is a motion-activated sprinkler www.thespruce.com/
the only problem wiht that approach is that it might repel the duck too, thus defeating the purpose
You can bury chicken wire about a foot into the ground to prevent the cat from coming across.
A lot of people dry lemon peels and put them around. Cat's hate lemon. The other is "plant" dollar tree forks tines up in the ground.
