    I just found out today that my white and gray cat that disappeared was killed by a possum in the neighbors yard. The cat just turned 1.

    We have this epidemic from recent construction. They are popping up everywhere and are huge.

    So I was thinking of avenging the rather cruel death of my cat (throat ripped out) and was going to look into buying a 22 caliber and terminate with extreme prejudice. I would only use it for these wild animals and it would certainly trim down on possible diseases. I'm a little sad I guess.

    Do you have a hand gun of this size and do you have any stories of inspiration?

    I was also going to buy a cowboy hat and go by the name of Bud Davis.

    Sounds dangerous. I'd recommend something like a trap or some other method that doesn't involve shooting firearms in the vicinity of other people.

    This is why I could never live in the US. Crazy-ass neighbours running around with handguns shooting at possums. Yeesh.

    I'd recommend a Ruger 10/22 rifle for the job. Much more accurate, or maybe you're a better shot than I am.

    Or, you could get a 45 cal long colt revolver. Sure it sounds like overkill... but it also fires a 410 shotgun round, which is about perfect .

    so you are assuming he is a crazy ass because he wants to kill an aggressive possum?

    i don't think a handgun is the best tool, however. A rifle 22 would ideal. Or trap it

    The only tool I see is the guy who wants to kill an innocent animal with a firearm

    You are better off getting one of those cages that trap wild animals. That way you can have a decent possum meal and avenge the cat's senseless and needless death in glory. Remember to pour out a little bit of your 40 oz. in honor of the cat.

    is the animal innocent if it actually killed his cat?
    is taking out a rodent really that horrible?
    is every person that puts out rat poison a tool?

    this is a rodent, after all, and they can overpopulate an area very quickly.

    a tree somewhere needs a hug.

    Yeah, pretty much.


    In a place with gun control, thankfully.

    I'm all in favor of killing possums.......nasty ass creatures. However, I'm with you here. For all their disturbing looks, I've never heard of one attacking anything the size of a cat. Especially something that could bite back.

    Don't they eat grubs, insects and dog food? Unless your cat was jacking with it, in which case...............
