Or if you're not hungry, you could use my trusty cat/magpie deterrent
technique - sturdy catapult and a jar of hazelnuts.

Cracks me up to see a cat jump so high.


I used to know a poacher (now deceased) who was absolutely lethal with his
'plate' (as he used to call his catapult) even into his eighties. Mind you,
he used ball bearings, not hazelnuts, and I don't suppose he'd have bothered
knocking over cats.
