Can a small cat kill a rabbit?

[NT!]

Cats are unlikely to drag around dead animals they find, they mostly like to kill things. I'd say it's possible but that cat has brass ones.

This cat is unbelievably proficient at his job. He can jump onto a wire mesh fence and land on the top with absolute confidence standing upright, and there's just a crapload of dead animals around the path where I walk. I kinda respect and enjoy seeing the cat (I've never seen him kill stuff).

With mice it's irritating because you try to remember where they are in the dark and not step on them. With rabbits, it's not good, because they stink like crazy, as well as attract larger scavengers (raccoons, skunks). It's leaving the animals in a public area that I frequent and I'm curious about how to solve this problem.

Any suggestions?

Ideal solutions:
-cat becomes an indoor cat
-owner cleans dead animals from path (sidewalk and surrounding grass) every morning after the cat is let out

Possible Solutions:
-Pet Control takes the cat and sends it elsewhere
-Cat is put down

Options are listed in order of preference. One problem is that I'm not a very diplomatic guy and any discussion with the owner about the first two options makes the last two options potentially cause arguments/fights/etc.

my old small cat once completetly decapitated a rabbit twice her size.

she would also climb on top of a fence, perch on her back legs, and catch bats out of the air.
