Gab! The pond ledge needs something done to it. For a cat it's like an invitation to step this way for a tuna melt. If ya can't make the pond deeper then you gotta raise it up around the outside edge. It doesn't have to be a barrier per se but ya make it not worth the effort for the cat.
Also, my suggestion about the lily pads has worked for us for years! If the cat can't see 'em he can't catch 'em. We have lost 1 goldfish due to old age or whatever...but the rest are about 10 fucking years old!
The sprinkler idea is also a great one!
