Not if there is a "hole in your radiator".  Just be careful.  The anti-freeze in indiscriminate and is like kool-aid to most animals.
The person who has nothing for which his is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

Yeast or Rat poison in hamburger is how it is done in town around here.  Here in the midwest cats dogs turkeys deer whatever is an over populated nuisance.  Deer and turkeys are extremely hard on crops cats and dogs are hard on small wildlife along with the huge burst in red tailed hawks and owls all of the sudden.

I love my big ol' gray cat, Chico.  That's why he lives indoors with the rest of the family.  The wild ones that live outdoors spread disease, decimate the wild bird population and really mess up flowerbeds.  They are not just fair game, but I consider it an obligation to help neutralize the threat of a feral pest.  I kill rats, too. 

As to the "recipe" angle...  I spent some time in China where one of the historically significant dishes is called Dragon and Tiger Fighting.  Two ingredients are cat and snake.  I enjoyed this dish and mistook the small pieces of meat for the proverbial "chicken."  Don't know how it would taste in larger pieces or roasted.

We had a joke here in Florida about an Everglades dweller caught for shooting a cougar.  When asked why, he said it was food for his family.  When asked what it tasted like, he told the judge is was, "Kinda a combination of bald eagle and manatee." 

Me?  I never liked eagle--too tough.

A friend of mine has a farm he lets me shoot on and he has a terrible fc problem.  I have shot several and like someone else posted attempt to dispatch them as humanley as possible as I take no real joy in taking out ole' fluffy but tey are a terrible nuisance to his property.  I use a 22 mag with 30 grn hornady V-max.  I have never seen anything I have shot die harder than a cat.  They are very resilient and hate to give up those nine lives.  They leap into the air and take off even when I make good clean kill shots.  I have read somewhere the ballistic tip bullets don't expand at close range they need to slow down some before they expand properly but I don't know if it is true.

Of course you can't have the wrist brace, that would make it effective. Man, I feel bad for you guys. Hope things turn around soon. 
Anti: I think some of you gentleman would choose to apply a gun shaped remedy to any problem or potential problem that presented itself? Your reverance (sic) for firearms is maintained with an almost religious zeal. The mind boggles! it really does...

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

FQ, go out and buy yourself the Gamo Whisper then sight it in. After that your internal monologue which is  worried,  will turn from: " poor fluffy-kitty" to "cool this is one silent air gun. I should see what those gold pellets can do. I can't believe the permanent exit wound diameter!!!! I should post PICS on DRTV." or something like that.
