I would suggest non-lethal force and like the pepper spray idea. Not sure if that will kill a cat though. It may....
Also try that chicken-wire like stuff.

Many years ago dad a USPS parcels deliver person in the commercial district was attacked by a loose German Shepherd while the owner did nothing, dad dropped one arm full of packages and hit the dog with a fist after being backed into 4 lanes of traffic looking at white teeth. The dog ended up with a couple broken teeth and a lip needing stitches, dad went back to his deliveries.
Then the local news and the papers cought wind of this, "mailman attacks dog". The SPCA, animal rights, every dog wacko got into the act. Dad was cleared of this "mailman attacks". I've had the sheep killed over the hill at the ranch by dogs gone wild being dumped in the countryside as well once my horse needing stictches from nasty leg bites with me thrown off. Sorry to say we killed 5 dogs on the spot on this attack, the Redhawk .44 I always pack with speed loaders. I've been bit before in the past by dogs, like dogs but would not own one. A neighbor friend when in my 20's was breeding Ocelots that I helped walk for years late at night. I'm a cat person before this relationship with Ocelots and all the more now.
With a Coi fishpond and the old .22 Crossman air rifle a cat that pissed on everything and ate my fish would get a two pump only shot, man that was a big welt thru your pants test but not killing them. They learn rather fast. Pepper spray with a water bath seems the best as the air rifle became a police issue trust me on this one as i'm close with the police. I now have racoons that attack your legs at night wanting peanuts for the squirrels
and bluejays. So far the "Wrist Rocket" is banned by law so plan "B" is working so far. At night only I inject the peanuts with some super hot sause with a bowl of saltwater near. They're learning. There is no cat leash law. Done with Novel.
