plot twist: kids a radical ecologist, keep ya cat indoors.
I agree with the "don't be shitty to animals" sentiment, but I'm honestly a little surprised no one else has bothered to consider how shitty that cat might be. If it was always shitting in your yard, picking fights your cat or dog, using your bird feeder as a cat feeder, and tearing up your flower beds, then a cup of water is a pretty benign deterrent that still has a chance of being effective.
Lol minus the birdfeeder thing you just described dogs.
Cats bury their shit, tend to avoid dogs / fights with bigger animals, and I've never seen one dig up a flowerbed.
In your flower bed, which is how they get torn up. Then when you go to fix them: smelly shit
That's cute, cats in my area love fighting everything
