First.. there is no such thing as a cat owner. Cats own themselves and

As much as I dislike cats, I do feel that you should tell this guy
thatyou are laying down poison before you do it... even if the only
reason is to avoid getting the hairs sued off your butt. Tell him that
you have a raccoon problem or something... and that as you have seen
his cat in your garden, you only think it fair to advise him that it
is at risk of imminent, prolonged and painful death.

Don't mention how much pleasure this would give you.

Do put it in writing and keep a copy.

I had a dog poisoned once by some neighbors who decided that they
didn't like the barking during the day. We were unaware that there was
a problem until she suffered cronic liver failure. If they'd told us
it was a problem we could have looked at fixing the situation rather
than ending up with a mortal enemy on the other side of the fence.

We got our own back by getting friends in the local council to
redirect the new sewer system through his carefully tended back
garden. He keeled over from a heart attack shortly after. Hopefully my
dog bit him the moment he walked through the pearly gates.

I don't like my neighbor's half a dozen cats running loose and crapping in
my flowerbeds, BUT, there has been a dramatic decrease in the number of
rabbits in my garden, and the rabbits were a much bigger problem.

It makes it a lot easier to tolerate all the cats.

BTW, I don't hate cats; I have one myself.

Best regards,
Bob
