Nice cat! But whats the benefit of using an airgun? Its slightly more challenging than using firearms. And your shot placement has to be nearly perfect.

I would rather a .22 lr with iron sights. And shoot a moving cat at 100 yards with a 9mph cross wind. That's a challenge. Anybody can kill something with a bb gun at 35 yards when the bb is traveling 1500 feet per second.

I'm not sure I see the point. Sounds like a good way to become a human scratching post.

The reson I shot him with the pellet gun is he killed our chickens, but we are kinda in a suburban area and I didnt want to disturbe the neibors with a rifle shot.

I'm not hating. Just seems like it's not enough gun for the job. Since lane said he was in a suburban area I can understand that. Personally the only thing I can think of thats worse than tangling with a bobcat is tangling with a pissed-off bobcat.
