I used to know someone who told me a story of a next-door neighbor who
was having problems with a stray cat in the neighborhood.  Said cat kept
coming into his yard, getting into fights with his dog, and tearing up
the dog.  After the third set of vet bills, he started keeping an eye
out for the cat, with the one rifle in the house loaded and set by the
back screen door.

"The one rifle in the house" was a .378 Weatherby.  I'm told all there
was to see of the cat was a cloud of fur.  My informant found this
massive overkill darkly amusing; I have no idea what the other neighbors
thought.
