Probably less hassle than building yourself a cat catapult.

Getting them to sit still on the cat catapult while you launch them may be a challenge, but what about a Tibbles Trebuchet? You only need to hook onto the cat's collar to fling the furry fekker.

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.

The 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 ?

We have a cat flap that can either be open both ways, in only, out only or totally closed. We also have a cat that occasionally comes in so sometimes I set the cat flap to be in only for a bit of a laugh.......

Not a cat person then BGG?

Not particularly.

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.

Natural world??

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

There are about 20million of the tulipting little tulipters per square KM around here.

true, very true...

I think it's the "creature incarceration/dependence for human pleasure" bit he disapproves of...

and the head stoving?

Well, short of stoving its head in with a shovel, there isn't much you can do.

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.

This is not the natural world - this is deepest suburbia.

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...
