+1. We get strays/outside cats who like to spray around OUR house or terrorize them through the windows...which makes OUR neutered cats want to retaliate to mark THEIR territory from within. Other people's cats become our nuisance. We've stepped in the crap of other people's pets, too, which is annoying as hell.

While I am not a fan of people who shoot roaming cats, I can see how those who are not fans of cats might do this. I don't ever want one of my furbabies to be a bother to anyone else OR risk being on the wrong end of a bullet.
