Default chilli/garlic spray - pet deterrent

I find a lead spray is satisfactory. Nominally, about 55grains at

3,200fps will discourage any further feline visits.
Failing that, ammonia on the visiting cat's starfish region will make it
associate visits with pain - hopefully staying away. I really do not like
cats. There is no way I see them fitting into our country unless they are
kept inside, away from our wildlife, sandpits, places they spray with

urine
and generally being a pain in the bum to us who enjoy the idea of a little
wildlife about, not having to be scared of entering the food chain via a

cat.

Hmmmmmm, lead spray. 55 at 3,200..... now you've lost me.

why would ammonia cause 'pain'? I thought it'd just provide an unpleasant
smell. *shrug*

As a previous victim of a 'hit n run' my cat doesn't go out of it's own yard
and is indoors all night and 98% of the day.

Just on the odd occasion it decides to have a walk round the back yard
(usually to pee) then comes back inside.

Last time, I managed to pick up the 'other' cat whilst the two were in
mid-fight having a 2.5 sec. pause. After picking the offending cat up I was
going to take it to the tap and 'hose it down' but it made such a hell of a
noise I had to let it go.

Lucky I did 'cause next min. the pyscho owner yells something out at me then
starts banging on the fence.

Never mind the cat....... I wish someone would put the owner down!
