One Horn spawns at the start of the battle.
Shibalien Elite and Heavenly Hippoe spawn after 13.3 seconds.
Gabriel and another Shibalien Elite spawn after 26.7 seconds, followed by 3 more Doge Darks.
When the enemy base is damaged, Nimoy Bore spawns as the boss alongside Shibalien Elite, Mooth, Ginger Snache and Doge Dark. Shibalien Elite, Ginger Snache and Doge Dark continue to spawn every 20 seconds, 13.3~26.7 seconds and 6.7 seconds, respectively
Strategy
Doge Dark, Gabriel, and Ginger Snache appear to be the threats in this stage, as they can group up with other enemies and destroy your units if they are not killed immediately. Shibalien Elites may also be a threat if you don't have enough anti-Starred Alien Treasures, as they will be very tanky and hard to kill plus their chance to warp your cats, making this stage harder.
Seafarer Cat is highly recommended for his ability to freeze Aliens, which is useful against Nimoy Bore. Awakened Bahamut Cat is also recommended for dealing damage to everything. Try to shield him with Crazed Cat or Crazed Tank Cat, so he can deal some more damage before dying or even take you to victory.

Strategy
Strategy 1
There are 2 separate problems in this stage that need to be addressed. The first is the Nimoy Bores in the beginning, while the second is the Spacefish Jones in the end. Unlike prior stages, you can't just send Awakened Bahamut to nuke the Spacefish Jones, so you have to be more careful.
I used Eraser Cat, Can Can Cat (no talents, level 43) Chill Cat (42), Seafarer Cat (32), and Cyberpunk Cat (40) with 100% anti-alien treasure in a manner similar to Siluman Tomcat (who replaced Chill Cat with Cameraman Cat.)
Since this is a Row 1 only battle, all of these cats play a key role and are difficult to replace, especially Seafarer Cat. The idea is to spam everything and use the Cat CPU and Speed-Up until the Nimoy Bores die, then to build up a Cyberpunk stack, and let the enemy get close to your stack so the Starfish Jones is in range of your Cyberpunk stack. Repeat this until the Starfish Jones dies.
An alternative strategy derived from LazyLawzi in the comments uses Eraser Cat, Cameraman Cat, Seafarer Cat, Can Can Cat, and either Kaza Jizo or a very highly leveled Cyborg Cat (mine is 50+10.) As she says, you literally just spam all the cats until everything dies, though as in the previous strategy, you don't need talents. In contrast to the previous strategy, this strategy has the advantage of not having to finesse the Starfish Jones, but in my experience, tends to rely on the Gardendeel Bros remaining alive to either cheese the base or spawn right on the Starfish Jones. This can be slightly anxiety inducing.
Strategy 2
The following strategy is a bit of a mix of comments and strategy 1. However i found the following combinations were a lot more consistent. I had to play the level 14 times before i got a superior treasure. The unit levels are what i had at the time, however i think for Eraser you could probably be lower and so long as everything else is 30+ you should be fine.
Line Up: Eraser (80), Maniac Eraser (40), Seafarer (30), Cyberpunk Cat (30), FIFTH CAT
The fifth cat can be any of the following (could be others this is just what i tried). Cyborg Cat (40), Cameraman Cat (45), Corrupted Psychocat (40). Area attackers are preferable i had an ehh time with Corrupted Psychocat. Careful if you use CPU with Cyborg Cat as it might have money issues.
Power ups aren't necessary but having them made the fight barely a challenge. If you have Cat CPU once your wallet is max level turn it on after you spawn the first Cyberpunk Cat and just wait. Rich Cat means you can use Cat CPU from the start. Speed Up because it's a bit of a long fight.
Steps (Assuming no powerups):
1) Level wallet up twice.
2) Spam Dual erasers until you can spawn Seafarer.
3) Spam everything except Cyberpunk Cat. Level up the wallet when you can but leave yourself a buffer of cash to spawn things.
4) You should be about level 6-7 when you kill the initial waves of enemies. Start advancing to the base.
4.5) When you hit the base i got BETTER results if i used breaker blast the moment the enemies walked out. I don't really know why but the rounds were faster.
5) If your stack of Seafarer's gets really unlucky with freezes then you might lose. Just reset and try again if you have 2 Nimoy Bores pushing to your base. All three Nimoy Bores should be killed by the time Spacefish Jones is at the halfway point.
6) Keep spamming everything except Cyberpunk Cat until wallet level is 8. Then spam everything until you win.
