You just can't win!

I have 2 cats, one female, one male, who fights with every cat around
I have gone out to my cat in the middle of the night before to shut him up.
He has even got into a scrap with a fox and one time i went down into the garden as i could hear a fox screeching and there was my cat sitting calmly on the garden table looking at this fox while its trying to get at him.
Water is great at splitting fighting cats up, any that dare to venture into my garden and fight with my cat gets hosed along with my cat.
my cat knows when i pick the hose up he flees.
I would be very peed off if i found somebody had shot at my cat, possibly shooting them with something stronger.
People who have a hatred for cats are not nice people IMO, they are defenceless animals, easy targets.
Foxes are far worse at making noise in the night, i hate them f**king things.

I used to have a family? of foxed in my back garden or there abouts and the pups (I assume?) would make the most gawd awful racket at 2am!

Anyone recomend a water pistol with approx 50 meter range

It's called a Skulk of foxes. I didn't know I even knew that until our pub quiz on Sunday......
Q/ A skulk describes a family of what animal?
A/Hmmmmm, I think it might be foxes....and I was right.....woo hoo!

They can be a real pain in cities and towns......very rarely see them where we are now. They know to stay away from people as most around here are hunted every year!

Mrs specialone bought me a big water gun a couple of xmas's ago, its probably capable of 35 ft, im sure if modified most of these super soakers would reach the distance you said.
(edit)Sorry thought you said 50ft, not metres.

try an ultra sonic scarer,

or stale urine and mark your terratory

well it's about 3 car lengthes from window to fence, then 6 car widths to the edge of the car park so its actually about 20 meters.

Oooo this could open up a whole can of worms...What about the poor defenceless birds that many cats find great pleasure in killing just for the sake of killing? Don't get me wrong I like cats, they're great. However, all pets have their pros and cons, to call them defenceless animals is a bit of an exaggeration. They have damn sharp claws and can run damn quick too, not really defenceless

We have a neighbourhood bully, fights with all the other Tom cats, has done some nasty damage to my cats face and ears and put one of the other neighbours cats in the vets for a few overnight stays. It's owners are unrepentant, know it's a problem, but obviously don't want to keep the cat inside and deal with litter trays, or get rid of it. To them it's their cuddly little angel, and since it seems to win all the fights they don't have any injuries to deal with.

Yes, it takes two to tango, but this animal comes and sits outside our patio door or on the windows sills yowling at our cat through the glass in the middle of the night. Our cat and the other Tom who ended up at the vets just keep distance from each other and never fight. This 'bully' is definitely more guilty than the others, it's obsessed with stalking, chasing, seeking out and fighting the other cats 24/7.

I'm sick to the back teeth of our cat getting battered and getting woken in the middle of the night by it winding our cat up through the glass, or fighting with other cats outside (ours now comes in at night for this very reason).

If this bully gets trapped in the back of my garage or a corner of my garden one day the next thing it'll see is the inside of a black plastic bin bag. If I had an air rifle the problem would have been sorted already.

I hate the fact that cats will kill anything for a laugh, birds that are no threat to anything (and an important part of the ecosystem, so 'r lass tells me). AND I hate the fact that one was looking at my fish longingly the other night, AND the fact that one once had a habit of taking a dump behind my shed/workshop and stinking the place out.

For f***s sake. I have a dog, it doesn't run wild killing stuff, if it did I'd 100% expect someone to blow him to bits with a shotgun!

If you have so few friends you need a pet to curl up with and are too fat to walk a dog then keep the thing under control or buy yourself a Bratislavan sex slave or something.


Right, I wouldn't shoot a cat with an air rifle. Unless you have an FAC air rifle then you are nowhere near guaranteed a humane kill. I might risk it with mine but only at less than 20 yards (shorter than the garden) with a definite headshot. 12 ft lbs is not enough muzzle energy.

Airsoft guns, (with really low energy as is allowed in airsoft) then yeah go for it if you are confident you can make the shot.

I have however set a steel plate up where I had seen the cat, and put a shot into the plate. PING and the cat goes supersonic over the fence Not seen that one since...

BUT if I see that ginger thing looking at my fish again, I'm going to nail it to the shed with the crossbow and feed it to them!

there's a few that scrap round my neighbourhood in the early hour's of the morning there's nothing more irritating imo sodding thing's.
