Some mates of mine had the same problem - the local moggies were sneaking in and taking the pets' food.
They installed a special catflap that only works when their cats use it, by way of some magnetic-collar-trickery.
Probably less hassle than building yourself a cat catapult.

Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostThe smallest of our four cats is a little black and white Al-Queada infiltrator. She was an abandoned little ball of fleas when we took her in, and the other three gave her lots of leeway. She now torments the life out of them, chasing them, ambushing them and generally being mischevious. She jumps up on the missus and sucks her top, leaving a little wet catty-mouth-marks,
she never had a proper mum.
Anyways, last week, we found tufts of white fur all over the garden and then the missus heard a terrible catawauling. A big black cat had the little one pinned down and was ripping lumps out of it.
On sunday the missus found the big black mog in the kitchen stealing their cat food, but she wouldnt let me chuck it out.
Well last night, she was out at work, I espied the b@stard in the garden, and was tempted to leave the door open to entice it in.
I was thinking 'dont mess with the monkeys moggie, we are natural born killers'
So what should I do ? visit it with monkey retribution, or leave the natural world to look after itself ?

I don't mind the moggies that much, but they always seem to make a beeline for me to sit on my lap or rub themselves on my legs, knowing full well that I am allergic to the enzyme they deposit on their coats, which then brings me out with flu-like symptoms for a few days.
It's the whole animal/human dependency thing that I'm not keen on, but that's a long story.

20 cats per 100 square kilometers is natural. 4 in one house and garden, plus an interloper, that's overpopulation.

You could however, get rid of your cats, and break the cycle of creature incarceration/dependence for human pleasure.

Neutered female = bottom of the cat hierarchy so he'll keep picking on her, I'm afraid.

Show the bugger what happens when it tangles with the EO massive and teach it a lesson that it won't forget when it and the little 'un cross paths again...
