Any critter that beats up on cats is golden in my book. Our neighbor's cat keeps coming home with mortally injured birds, bluetongues etc - I'd love to get a pet bird of prey that was capable of bringing the neighborhood cats back to our place one at a time in a similar state.

Really? I kind of like the smell of skunk... at least at that low-level you get when one has been hit somewhere on the highway. Mind you, while living in the US I nearly got sprayed once or twice when I surprised one on my bike late at night. If I'd got a face full I'm sure I'd like it less.
