Sadly, we do have the identical water bottle gun. My SO forgets it and resorts to yelling instead - somehow expects the kitten to understand human logic. I end up yelling "Use the water gun" at her. Sigh.
I compromised and bought a new kitten toy - to keep peace and smiles everywhere. Watch the video here:

Stella loves it!
Now I can get some peace & quiet.
