RE: Cat Ouestion
If you're shooting a lion out of a tree you can use a .22 if you want. I've used .22 mag pistol and I've had several clients and friends that used .22 mags. They aren't particularly tough and they most likely aren't going to go after you. If they did you likely wouldn't even know until it was too late anyway.

RE: Cat Ouestion
I assume you are reffering to a Panther as opposed to a Bobcat.
It all comes down to proper shot placement.
A .22 blank can kill a hog, but you have to know what you are doing.
I myself, having observed them in the wild, would be more comfortable with an open sighted Marlin 35 Remington or my '06 with a lower zoom scope.
Just my opinion

Cougars aren't classified as panthers. They are of the Puma genus in the subfamily Felinae.

RE: Cat Ouestion
WOW! Never thought a .22 would do the job so thanks a lot for the info everyone, But dose any one know if a shot at 100 or 50 yrds. would damage the fur? Mthunter said way to much and that was what I was araid of.
