Killing the Neighbor’s Cat

My neighbor has cat that likes to come on my front yard.
This bothers my wife, who doesn’t like animals, and also makes a bad smell as the cat is using it for his bathroom.
My question is, can I put poison so the cat should eat it and die?

Answer:

You mustn’t kill the cat without giving its owner due warning.

Tell the cat’s owner that the cat is disturbing you, and that if it happens again you will put poison out for it.

If it continues to recur, you can indeed put out the poison.

Best wishes.
