Dealing with neighbourhood cats?

I'd rather get a cat and train it to urinate on the kids. Or maybe train the skunk, that's in the neighbourhood because one of these families leaves their recycling out in the back yard, to spray them.

When the neighbour across the street used to sit on his front porch beating a drum repeatedly just to make noise, I'd take out the dirtbike. Point the exhaust at his house and fire it up. When he'd go back in the house, I'd shut off the bike and put it away.

One time he went in and cranked the music after one of our encounters, so I took my buddy's bike out of the shed. Parked it next to mine and fired it up. He had two 450 MX bikes thumping his way, and the problem went away.

You don't HAVE to be childish. But, it really is the best solution some time.

I've actually got the law on my side, because we have a noise bylaw in this town that has no specific applicable hours. The police have already said that they'll come out, to enforce it. Yes, it's bad enough that I've talked to the cops.
