We've a lot of cats coming through the garden. I wouldn't mind if not for my dog, who does and goes insane when she spots a cat. So I've been thinking about getting a super soaker to chase them away. I think that's pretty harmless, and perhaps they learn to skip our garden after a while... What do you lot think?

As a cat owner I approve using a a super soaker. I use a mini-soaker on my own cats in rare cases (being bengals they love water but despise being sprayed) - they probably catch on quickly and should bolt when they see you reaching for it soon.

That being said throwing a whole cup at a cat or making it soaking wet is not ok.

Thanks 🙂 I don't intend to use one of those canon sized ones, I was thinking a mini like you said. Just a little squirt should do the trick 😇
