Oh, so since it's legal you think it's just fine and dandy to harm a cat?

some people just hate cats like that for no reason and do stupid things to them, it really is sickening
You're both idiots. A cat is an animal, not a human being. I believe they have no conscious thoughts or any actual feelings to hurt. Popping it with a BB gun won't kill it. But a sting from something like that gives it something to remember. And I can't afford to give my cat food if some other animal keeps eating it and especially HARMING MY CAT. I keep my cat as a pet, and generally people like it when their pets are healthy. So if you can't count this as defense of my cat rather than me intentionally wishing to inflict pain on this other cat for pleasure is preposterous.
Harming a cat = abuse.
Shooting a cat with a BB gun = abuse.
Killing a cat is wasteful. Shooting a stray, inbred loving cat so I can feed mine is a greater good in my eyes.
