If you're going to take pot-shots at them, bear in mind that they're classified under law as wild animals, not vermin. Wild animals harming/maiming/killing/torturing other animals is not illegal. Humans harming/maiming/killing/torturing animals is quite harshly dealt with.
Until someone comes up with a domestic animal, classified under law as a wild animal, that eats cats (or the law changes) - you're stuck.
I find a super-soaker, and mowing orange peel into the lawn quite effective against keeping cats away.
Much prefer my Burmese python. Least it only kills the wildlife if I let it!

The answer's simple. Get yourself a cat.

I locked my dog in the boot of the car for two hours and when I let him out he licked my face and wagged his tail. When I did the same thing to my wife, she went crazy and tried to bite me.

You're probably better off avoiding eating top predators, they accumulate all sorts of nasty things in their flesh, or so I heard or have just made up.

I used to think that cats did nice little sanitised poos, like owl pellets or something. I also used to think that I had the most revolting and rancid bum in the animal kingdom.
Then I met Mrs EO and her cats. I was forced to concede defeat after waging a ten year rear-guard action. Despite being fuelled by ten pints a night, various kebabs, curries and tins of beans, I was eventually forced to surrender by Brewster, and her weapons of mass destruction.

I've got a cat () and it tulips 2 foot from the front door and back doors, tulips on the decking, tulips on the front gravel drive, front lawn and back lawn.
