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.
