Discharging firearms is prohibited in my neighborhood. I wouldnt shoot a dog or cat anyways but if i did I would imagine 22lr for cats or 100 gr .243 for dogs would do the job. If I could keep the neighbors dogs from shi**ing in my yard and tearing things up. Don't see as big of problems with cats, they keep the mice down and blurry their sh** and seem to be overall less destructive.

I hear Frank is the cat whisperer, after a couple days they will be eating crab out of his hands.
