I forgot to say I was mad at my friends father for killing a cat. But the example tells what a pellet rifle can do in practiced hands. Theres a tomcat that fights my cat (which cant have babies) all the time. Id love to run it off without pain or killing it. Any ideas? Killing it is the last resort to me. My cat takes care of most pests or my dog does but this cat whips them both. My dog is about seven pounds and not very scary to a cat of the same size or bigger. If someone has an idea that doesnt include death or suffering then I want to try it. The cat is a housecat gone wild, I think he killed my other cat. He fights the other cats on my street too, every night. I wont use poison, Im trying to not damage the earth any more than it is. My garden and bonsais are fed organic fertalizer and or tilapia crap. Tilapia crap is great fertalizer and I have plenty since my food grows in aquaponics. The trees get crap and organic fertalizer once in a while. If you have a fishtank, use the stuff from the filter. It has the bacteria to turn fish poo into plant food. I highly recomend aquaponics for veggies and am trying a couple ficus to see if it works in a growbed system. It fills and drains, giving organic food, water, then air is pulled in so the roots grow like crazy for food, soon I can report how it works on trees. So far, so good.
