Its illegal to be wilfully cruel any animal period.

The law gets more interesting when it comes to "Animal rights" though and the short version is.... "Is the animal worth money?",  "No?" Then if you run over it, you can leave it at the side of the road and forget about it.,  Yes Or it's a dog.  then you can't just leave it there, you are required to show at least an attempt to reach the owner or take the animal to a vet or just call out an emergency vet.  You are not necessarily liable to pay the damages though.

That's true, but pest control is perfectly legal. If someone shot a feral cat dead, because it's a pest, it's perfectly legal, as long as they killed it as cleanly as possible and don't inflict unnecessary suffering. If it's someone's pet, then they've broken the law. One might be able argue, they believed it was a feral cat, but I doubt the court would believe them.

Reporting running over a dog dates back to the days of dog licensing.

“Law” is beside the point. Rarely do morality and legality intersect. Morals mean vastly more than “law”. The law is an ass, a huge ass with no sense.

If I know I’ve got a clear conscience and need to do what keeps it clear, I’ll break the law IF I HAD TO and ONLY if there’s no other way, and I’d prefer not to of COURSE.

I’ll answer to God at the end of my life. Not some man in a chair.

I know cats can be true bastards sometimes, but that's a bit excessive at least as initial approach  :-DD
Just use some a water spray ot something that releases air and frightens him.
If still not working, add some lemon juice or other non-toxic compound she hates, will have to lick it off his fur and probably remember where it came from.

Long time ago I had a cat with an obssesion of eating my shoes, tried lemon, spicy stuff, he just didn't care .
That motherfeecker even ate solid copper wire one day I was replacing a wall socket.
He was probably retarded, none of my other cats were like that, not even his brother, he was just the extra chromosome cat  ::)

The condition is called Pica, I have a cat that occasionally eats wires too, he was much worse about it when he was young, I had to make sure I picked up my projects off the floor.
