What does "catty' mean in this sentence?

[Harry Smith]

On the way to school we took potshots at dogs with our catty.

It means nothing to me. What are you trying to say?

 

[Rover_KE]

It probably means 'catapult'.

Please give context when makig future posts.

Where did you encounter this sentence?

 

[MikeNewYork]

I had no idea that "catty" could mean catapult.

 

[Rover_KE]

Neither had I.

I just guessed.

You know a collegue of mine asked me to translate this sentence.
She had no more context. At first I thought "catty" means " catapult".
Then I asked my friend who teaches "The theory of Translation" in a Russian Universiry.
He said "catty" could be " cat". He explained they might be making the dog angry showing it a cat.
Do you think there is some logic in it?

 

[Rover_KE]

None at all.

'Taking potshots' means projecting missiles — in this case, stones, not a cat.
