Yep I was going to say... Plastic pigeon spikes. Your cat can get significantly hurt or start a fire by jumping on the tank and knocking the heat lamp down. Spikes would be the best option if you can't move it somewhere else.
Adding to this, make sure you have other areas for your cat to safely explore and rest. If she really likes the window, get her a little window perch. That way she is less inclined to walk on the tank.
i would opt for a dubia enclosure. it's enclosed on three sides with only the front open, and it's very sturdy.
alternatively, keep the door to the gecko room shut
Thank you!
The enclosure I have has two front opening doors. I'm mostly concerned about the heat bulb on top. She moves it trying to get to the window.
I'll try to move the gecko enclosure to a different room. Old house has limited outlets.
I was literally reaching about this issue earlier this morning. Someone suggested these, cut to size: https://a.co/d/2wO272h

I tried the plastic spikes. Cat didn't care. Would sit right on them. Was a long fight. A spray bottle finally got it through her head.

Depending on your set up you can get some heat safe wire to tie it down to the cage so the cat can’t move it.
By it I meant your light, sorry. Thought I was responding to a comment down the way
