That is a really bizarre question for a thread like this. To answer it, yes - an airgun of this power will kill an animal of that size. Rabbits, possums, etc.
Most folks would be thinking of nuisance animals in their garden, or under their shed, or whatever. As a matter of fact, I've killed five large rats just this last week that were burrowing under my deck. We are experiencing a new wave of construction in my formerly pretty rural neck of the woods, and the critters are seeking out new homes. "Not in my backyard", quite literally.
I've been using my Weihrauch HW 80 .20 caliber air rifle. Pretty damn effective. It achieves about 800 fps with the same JSB pellet. It's scoped, which makes it a better rat gun, since this is all done at night. Far easier to see the "sights".
I could not imagine shooting a cat, though. Especially a cat known to belong to a neighbor. No way. Not only poor neighborhood relations, but pretty damn deranged, heartless, and cruel. Only some kind of a real deviant would even consider such a thing. I hope you were joking.
