While that may be true of most cats, there are certainly some cats that are more than capable of killing, and eating, squirrels. When I was a kid I had a cat that killed weasels, ducks, partridges and gophers. I'm sure a squirrel would have been no problem for her. However, a cat killing a squirrel is simply a part of the natural order, and getting mad at them and killing them over it is stupid. Might as well blow up the sun because it shines. As with most matters pet related, the fault lies with the irresponsible owners who allowed their cats to roam and have the freedom to kill squirrels. The fellow's grandfather would have been on firmer moral ground for using his pellet gun on the cat's owners rather than the squirrel-hunting cat itself. Of course he would have been on shakier legal grounds had he done this, so it's the cat that pays the price.
