Also, paint pellets tend to hurt humans.  Occasionally leave welts.  Now
imagine a poor cat - much thinner/weaker bones, less body mass and usually
less fat content to distribute the force.  I would imagine a paint pellet
could so some serious harm to a cat.  It would certainally be more than a
startle/humiliation type of deterrent.  Kind of like the difference between
a bank threatenining to take away your car if you don't pay back your loan,
vs a loan shark exploding your car and you getting smacked in the side with
the door...
