Now ya see um - now ya don't.
Feral Cats & dogs = 58 grain V-max at @ 4000fps from 6mmAI = dead.
Oh Happy Days.

I'd agree with that for feral hogs and Trichinosis or feral cattle and brucillosis, but cats? I think that their predation of the native nongame wildlife is justification enought to remove them.If you are animal lovers in general, kill all "feral" animals. The #1 reason for disease..
http://www.deh.gov.au/biodiversity/invasive/ferals/cat/index.htmlFeral cats have impacted heavily on island fauna. Because islands are usually small and isolated, the presence and impact of feral cats is more obvious than it is on the mainland, particularly if other predators such as foxes and dingoes are absent. It is known that they have caused the extinction of a subspecies of the Red-fronted Parakeet on Macquarie Island.

Determining the impact of feral cats on native wildlife on the Australian mainland is more difficult. It is complicated by other factors such as introduced herbivores like rabbits competing with native animals for food and shelter, and habitat loss caused by clearing, grazing animals and urban development.
However, there are instances where feral cats have directly threatened the successful recovery of endangered species. For example, feral cats killed many of the captive bred Malas (or Rufous Hare-wallabies) that were released in the Tanami Desert of the Northern Territory during 1990 and 1991. It was also found that a single feral cat was responsible for reducing the numbers of rock wallabies in an isolated colony in tropical Queensland.
Feral cats also carry infective diseases such as toxoplasmosis and sarcosporidiosis. These diseases can be transmitted to native animals, domestic livestock and humans. In wildlife, toxoplasmosis can cause damage to the central nervous system, blindness, respiratory problems and general debilitation. In humans, toxoplasmosis can also cause debilitation, miscarriage in pregnant women and congenital birth defects. If rabies were to be accidentally introduced into Australia the potential for feral cats to act as carriers would be a high risk. This could prove disastrous for native wildlife and domestic stock.
Per my previous post.I think that their predation of the native nongame wildlife is justification enought to remove them.
Shot placement is the key. If you want them DRT, you've got about zero tolerance for error. If you just want to kill them then a lung/heart shot will still work. You might not get to witness the actual expiration though.I wonder if a .25 RWS pellet gun would be effective at 50-100feet?
