There's a difference between justice and revenge
That's true, but in what spirit are you making that observation here?
In this case, they go hand in hand

If my neighbor did ANYTHING to my pets, they'd be lucky to only get sprayed with water.

If it was funny to do it to the Cat.... It was hilarious doing it to the kid.
Can confirm.
I have a robot that clears snow on my driveway (it’s a diy build,). One winter, we were having problems with a couple teenage boys chucking snowballs at cars.
Their dads conspired to teach them a lesson.
They recruited me and S5-SY (the robot, pronounced “Sassy”,).
So they played some mind games to get the kids to think it was their idea to record themselves-live- chucking snowballs at the “defenseless” robot.
In the video, the robot turned to face them, drove itself into the snow bank and turned on its sweeper to give them the worst white wash of their lives.

How DARE you interact with my poor, helpless cat, who I lovingly toss outside to slaughter songbirds, pick up parasites, and maybe get flattened by a car. I don't generally give a single solitary shit what happens to it out there, but this splash of water is TOO FAR.
Edit:
Please stop letting your cat out. It's not good for your cat or the local wildlife.

I think most people just have no idea how terrible outdoor cats are for native wildlife. It should be illegal, just like how you can't let your dog wander around freely.
On one side, I like to prank cats. on the other, I hate other peoples children.
blocked, mauuu
We've a lot of cats coming through the garden. I wouldn't mind if not for my dog, who does and goes insane when she spots a cat. So I've been thinking about getting a super soaker to chase them away. I think that's pretty harmless, and perhaps they learn to skip our garden after a while... What do you lot think?
Why not simply work on training your dog to be less reactive?
Naw, that’s a good boi — I don’t want the neighbors’ cats on my property.
Hahah simply. I've only trained a handful of dogs, so professional dog trainers sound off here but there are dogs that are more or less untrainable. Sure difficult dogs can learn a few manors or tricks, but either because an abundance or lack of intelligence they're not going to ever be a show dog. Depending on the dog maybe the best they get is just not as reactive instead.
Working on that. Still would prefer cats to skip my garden though!
I think they taunt you by shitting in your flowerbeds while you're not looking.
I know they do!
I know that's how I taunt my neighbours.

My neighbors daughter had one of those water guns. I told her if she shoots at me, I'll get the hose and retaliate. She grinned, shot at me, and ran away laughing.
I talked to her dad, he nodded, and when she came back for more mischief, she got wet.
Like, I agree with the tit for tat. But don't let your cat outside.
