[QUOTE="MallardAddict, post: 1286502, member: 3830"] I've only ever shot 3 cats while hound hunting and all with a light 25-20 lever action. All were hit well in the chest and died fast. Only 1 of the 3 came out of the tree and was dead within 25yds. Cats aren't hard to kill but as said above use a soft bullet as they don't open bullets really well. Any reasonably accurate lever action in .25 up to the .44 mags are excellent choices in my book. For rifles I prefer light and handy as there is lots of walking and once trees shots are going to be under 25yds typically. Lots of guys like the 22 mag as mentioned above because it typically isn't enough impact to make the lion leave the tree so they tend to die in the tree without a dog rodeo. It wasn't legal for cats in WA prior to the tree huggers banning hounds for cats hence why I liked my 25-20 [/QUOTE]
