They get pretty absurdly high power. You'd want to aim well, but cats are big.

Edit: a poor hit with .22 short isn't going to be better. It'd have longer effective range, but that is sort of the problem.
.22 LR are dirt cheap and are basically a guaranteed quick kill. Why make it more complicated?

Need a bounty program. Don't need a bounty for deer, people pay to hunt deer because they get the meat and dream of being able to hang a trophy rack on their wall (only shoot doe when they don't think they'll get a buck, so they can still say their hunt was a success).

Mounting a cat head and claws on the wall just doesn't have the same appeal (not to mention nobody will want the meat, either).

It was a thought for urban environments.

We're running into a feral hog problem in Alberta. Despite the bounty, no takers.
Not even when there's 30 to 50 of them while my small children play?

They did that in the 70's vs deer.

Shot them from helicopters.
