I have an escape artist cat(fixed). Neighbors decided to trap my cat. I went over and told em my cat was in their trap. They yelled about the cat getting in their garden etc etc. I asked them not to trap him, but if they see him in their yard at all don’t be afraid to soak him with the hose.
Cat doesn’t go over there anymore when he slips out of the house.
Also fair and balanced
My preference is to kill 'em on sight. Not that I DO that mind you. It's against the law:)
