Throwing water at each other, the way people used to throw eggs...

Don't worry. Water prices will start going up too.

Idk,

Shouting “Hey, don’t do that” loud and clear may be more effective.

  • kid may have thought they where alone and will get jumped from getting caught.

  • May alert the parents their kid is up to mischief.

  • Doesn’t potentially start an escalation war with neighbors

  • Doesn’t carry the small risk of the child falling or otherwise getting hurt with you as an easy blame.

Think of it like this: Does the kid now understand the “evil” of their actions to try be better next time. Or will they feel vindicated by their parents support against your “evil”

You're probably in the right here, but at least they'll know what it's like to be assaulted with water.

If someone intentionally caused harm to any of my cats, I live near a large national forest, and once you get a few hundred yards off a trail, no one is going to find a body.
