I dont poison, abandon, allow my dog to attack or shoot to maim but I will always get the point across with a mild BB shot to the rump (we're talking a weak gun from 50' here). If I was of the mindset of most Portlanders I wouldnt be making a point to keep my own cat indoors. Seems to me if your indoor cat gets out it getting run over by a car would be far more of a concern than what someone might do to him for crapping in their flower bed.
Actually, the reason I keep the cat inside is because my neighbors have chickens, and we have coyotes that roam our streets occasionally. Small dogs,cats, and chickens have disappeared because of the coyotes. I also think that my neighbors would appreciate my efforts to keep my cats from scaring their egg laying chickens. I doubt the cat could or would hurt the chickens. I have other neighbors that don't keep their cats in and they are seen in my yard often,but I don't do anything about it. By the way, I'm not really a cat person, The cat was my recently deceased wife's cat. I didn't think she would appreciate me getting rid of it so it will continue to live with me and the dog.
