We are getting rabies alerts about cats, neighborhood by neighborhood now. The warnings come with instructions to call the health department if you have had ANY contact with an unknown animal. What kid isn’t going to pet a cat that walks into the yard. And there are feral cats everywhere in Florida! I’ve seen people driving around servicing feeding stations they’ve set up. I will start taking down licence plate numbers. Not good. Not good at all. Of course, that problem should not be solved with a .22.
Sure it could, just get up close and use a revolver with subsonic loads.
