This is a bit crazy, but if you really want to kill the cat, maybe you should try this first. Have a shower (rids yourself of pheromones and other odors) Put yourself in a room with the cat (maybe get Micron to bring it there, after first telling the cat what he is going to do). Make sure the room is basically empty (no possibility for hiding under the bed) with maybe just one box or some place the cat can retreat to without losing eye contact with you. No don't bring the butcher knife with you. Not the shotgun either. Sit on the floor. No sudden moves. Talk to it in a calm voice and tell it what you hate about its behavior. If it's a he, think of him as a male "person", if female, as a female "person." When you speak, think in pictures. Take pauses and long silences. See if the cat tries to tell you something back. Do you see any pictures or get any impressions? Thank it for the talk (if it hasn't scratched your eyes out by now) and get up slowly and open the door and let it walk out by itself. You'd be surprised how that can help a cat change it's behavior.
