It's irresponsible to talk about shooting or otherwise encouraging the killing of people's pets for innocuous offenses like transiting property, if not because you mean it, then because it might give others the idea that it's a trivial act. It's not. Cats and dogs are people's pets, and for a lot of people, pets are a part of their family. You go killing the family members of your neighbors, and then consider your future in that neighborhood...well, you do the math.
Yes, at times cats are killed by dogs and it's not the owner's fault, though it's been my experience as both a cat and dog owner that a dog's personality often reflects the owner's.
Cats can also be killed by other people's cars (or your own!) and it's nobody's fault. Cats often lead dangerous lives, and often they come to bad ends.
Again, even if you don't like cats (or dogs), that's only half the issue. Cats have owners who love them. Killing them is an indirect attack on the lives of human beings who own them. (Humans, you know, as in the most dangerous predator there is?) You got to ask yourself how many people in your close vicinity you want hating your guts.
