As a younster, I shot a huge male cat in our barn. Dad wanted him gone, as he was hard on young kitties kept around for rat control.

I was in the hay loft, cat raised his head, caught a 150 gr. wheel weight cast SWC from my K-38, square in the mouth. Blew out the the back of his skull. DOA, of course.

I dragged that thing out of the barn and when I held him by the back legs, his nose drug the ground. He must have weighed 25-30 pounds, one of the biggest cats I've ever seen, for sure the biggest one I ever shot. Dad was pleased.

Good times.

Reminds me of spending time at my grandparents cabin with my Ruger 10/22 and Weaver K4 or grandpas single shot revolver loaded with rat shot and bringing all of my trophies back to show grandpa and hound him to buy me another brick of ammo.
