Have you ever been hit by a BB gun?
For a cat, a hit in the head would be brutally damaging, perhaps fatal.
A hit in the torso would very likely break ribs, and probably cause damage to
internal organs.
In the unlikely event that a cat was actually harming your peppers, there
would be all sorts of ways to handle the problem without shooting up people's
pets.
Some of you people need help. I'm really serious about that. If you find
killing or maiming small animals amusing, your next stop should be a
psychologist's couch. That ain't normal.
I've been a member of this list since its inception, but I'm outa here until
the level of mental health gets a little higher.
I'd appreciate it if someone could drop me an email when this thread peters
out.

Here in Oz
Cats in the open are considered Feral animals, there have been moves mooted
to Register the little suckers .
But the Cat huggers have slowed the momentum ..
We have had lots of problems with Cats killing our native wildlife
(small Marsupials).( Native Birds etc....
I have shot any I find in the bush using .22 cal to .8mm and 12 g and any calibre firearm in-between
FWIW I fed a cat for 15 yrs and was sad when she passed away/ I have a dog now and have a
certain ammount of control over his nocturnal wanderings, which is more than I ever had with the
cat..
I would imagine that (domestic) cats are not actually native to north America and could be
considered feral there as well?
Anyway I don't think that any ammount of Chile Sauce could make them taste good.. !
