Here's betting that if this 'shooting cats' is passed, there will be some humans getting shot too. Someone's going to shoot the wrong cat, an unseen collar or something.

To paraphrase one of the other posters you ought to bear in mind you'll be shooting at someone who is armed.
In October I nailed a buck at about 300 yards clean in the heart. With a single shot rifle. No scope. Just my range and windage finder.
And I am not the best shot I know. I know guys who'd think I was a pussy for taking an "easy" shot.
Any cat lovers who decide to go after even "yahoo" hunters should write their will first and bring along a body bag for themselves out of sheer courtesy for the coroner when they come out to clean up the mess.
You might shoot for fun. I shoot to eat and so do a lot of guys out there.
Hey, you really want to go crazy? Go after one of the Ted Nugent type bow hunters. Those guys will creep up behind a deer and nail him from less than fifty feet. With a bow and arrow. Go after one of those guys and you'll likely be skinned, cleaned, and bagged before your gut pile attracts the first crow. And your cat will make a nice fur collar for his wife's deerskin coat.
Besides, just because there's no law allowing cat population control in your area does not mean it isn't going on. The folks who do it just don't talk about it and cat lovers comfort themselves pretending their tabby got run over or picked up at a pound.
Keep telling yourself that.
And then KEEP YOUR CAT IN YOUR HOUSE and you won't have to worry about any of it.
