More water, as the planting medium tends to dry out faster. Location is important for veggies. They need sunshine at least 4 straight hours each day and that can be a problem if your house shades the planter. Watch the weight on a 5 gallon container. Once filled it can be quite heavy. The bigger issue seems to be the cats. Any chance of talking over the problem with the neighbor? Cats that roam are responsible for incredible songbird predation each year. It's a big, big problem.
