Just to play the devil's advocate, is there actually any law against leaving bowls of anti-freeze out in your own yard? Would you have to prove intent to poison the cats? Come to think of it, I thought cats didn't have a taste for sweetness, and the sweetness of antifreeze is what makes it attractive to children and dogs. Still a pretty crappy thing to do, to be sure. I'm a cat lover, and while I can understand why some people don't like strange cats roaming in their yards, this is going a little too far.

Yes it is illegal ... in fact can be tried as a felony ... to bait animals ... of any kind. Anti-freeze is VERY sweet to animals and they love it ... though it causes a slow and painful death. The antifreeze we found was in cat sized bowls. One of these bowls also contained cat crunches with anti-freeze poured on it. The intent was clear

I agree. If your cat is under their deck, and they put cups of anti-freeze out under their deck, then they are not liable. You need to keep your cat on your property or on property of those who consent. They can just claim they have a vermin problem with skunks, raccoons, or rats and that is why the anti-freeze is there. I can't see any legal violation. In fact, several cities have cat leash laws as silly as that may seem.
