Lived in Key Largo for 7 years and dispatched 27 cats with CB’s. One shot, one flop every time. Then I grew up and started killing hogs with them and realized how well they penetrate. A cat won’t stop one and I won’t be plinking fluffy here in the neighborhood with those little demons. Random ricochets aren’t your buddy in this setting. OTOH, I know what #6 birdshot will do and the lot is a bit more than 1,000’ x 300’. I don’t mind the neighbors hearing the boom, just don’t want to shoot them. Yet.
