I put two cats down once, they thrashed like crazy. Put the bullet in the back of the head like you did.
In hindsight I think the bullet shoulda gone just above between the eyes for a clean brainpan shot. |

Nerves I'm betting. Strung three shots across a coyote last week two to the torso and one to the head. Animal was completely hollow but still trying to get up. It always creeps me out.

You hit too high in the brain. You need to get the low brain, as it will result in an immediate slumping over, and not a twitch. Basically aim where the head joins the neck. Or so I've heard. <==== for the benefit of the PETA-tards, in an effort to avoid the shrieks and wailing.
Oh, and in virtually all jurisdictions it is perfectly legal to use a bullet to euthanize an animal, so long as it's legal to discharge the firearm wherever it's done. |

Quoted:
So my mom needed a cat put down. She's had vets give many injections for pets before and found it just expensive and very alarming to the pets, compared to a bullet to the head, usually the back of the head. So... 9mm. My mom wants at least two shots used, just in case. I get the cat laying down and looking away and shoot the back of the head. Goes down, then another shot to the head. Good hits best I could tell externally. At this point, is starts thrashing, kinda robotically, with blood coming out the ears. This is flinging blood everywhere. Shoes got sprayed. A lot of red grass after. Cat thrashed for at least 30 seconds, if not more like 45 even. Put one more round into the heart after ~15 seconds of thrashing, trying to drain some blood pressure so it would stop, and to assure my mom it was truly dead. She watched the whole thing. Second cat I've shot, and they both did this thrashing. So am I messing it up? My dad and I assured her it's just the nervous system firing due to a destroyed brain. That it's really dead. Is there a way to avoid the thrashing in the future, because it makes a hell of a scene... How many cats do you plan on putting down in the next couple of months? Next time, try a .410 slug to the the front of the skull above the eyes. That's how it is done for deer. YMMV. |

I head shot a feral cat one time with a suppressed .22
The round enter above the left eye and the cat thrashed around for a good 30 or 40 seconds. No blood flying everywhere but it did unload a ton of urine just spraying while thrashing around. |

I had a stray cat in my barn that would shit out 6 kittens a year, most of which would get hit by cars and die.. Well I decided to shut down the kitten factory... Caught her out by the garden one night, grabbed my .17 hmr, pulled up putted kittys head in the cross hairs, and touched off a round... Cat jumped no shit 6 feet in the air, and did a few back flips, landed and started spinning in circles... So, I took a center of mass shot... watched guts fly out the side of kitteh.... Kitty stopped spinning and ran at me hissing..
 took one more shot to ground her... My yard looked like a crime scene... kitty had about 5 gallons of blood in her... Now I have 2 german shepherds... No more stray cats, or well anything in my yard...

Reminds me of the time I accidentally stepped on a friends kitten. Was kicking the snow from my boots and didn't know he had a kitten. Smashed it's head.
So it's doing the spinning death spiral spraying blood about 3' evenly over the entire entryway except for a shadow of my legs. His girlfirend, who just got the lil guy was wanting to call a vet... Sad story and all, but damn, nobody can stop laughing about it now. |

I've shot them in the front between their eyes and from behind and they all but one did the funky chicken for about 20-30 seconds. The one that didn't move was a feral that I shot while he was walking away from me in the deer stand. I hit him right at the back of the skull with a hot loaded 130 grain .270 round. DRT

Ive shot a few feral tomcats that harrased the female feral cat that adopded me.
What i learned was that for every one pound of feral tomcat there was at least 1 gallon of blood in it. 5 pound cat=at least 5 gallons of blood. At least it seemed that way after I noggin shot em after a good snow. |

Mrs CWG and her Catshit Crazy Mom think putting your own pets down is a horrific concept. They also think its totally normal to spend 3-10k extending the suffering filled life of an elderly rescued pet.

I've killed a couple of feral cats when I was living in a rural area and every one has thrashed and screamed like mad. The first one gave me the creeps so bad I didn't sleep good for a week because every time I shut my eyes I'd see and hear that damn cat. I killed a feral dog once that had bitten a couple of local kids and it was almost as bad, but that was a case of not enough caliber and not a good hit.

The panic associated with asphyxiation comes from the body sensing CO2 buildup in your system... Helium or propane are the 2 easiest options for most people to obtain. I still think a bullet to the head is the most humane option. |

I put down an old Feral cat - head on shot. 22LR round nose ( I usually use HP's ) bullet entered near center of nose bridge, then entered brain from front. Exited low back of head. He dropped - absolutely no movement. I've put down other sick cats ( .22 ) and they did the " funky chicken " for 30 secs or so. These were angled - center head shots from top - to exit center jaw - in front of trachea. This year, I've trapped and put down 10 coons, they all did the funky chicken for 15 - 30 secs. These fuckers are hard to place, as they always want to stare / dare the adversary. I'll try the " low brain shot " next time and let ya know. Perfect placement should drop them like a brick. |

Apparently rescuing old dogs involves 30 dollars a month in pills and everything I own smelling like old lady piss until even medicine can't keep her alive anymore. At one point i think i had 1500 2mg vallium in the house cuz the pharmacy didnt have anything more potent. Those pills dont last long when you have to give the dog 20 pills for every grand mal seizure and they go on every hour for 24 to 27 hours. |

I think there's another cat in the near future.
My mom volunteered lots at an animal shelter when I was littler, and drug me along with for a bit of it. But she got most of her pets during those years. Most are old, and most have lived 15+ years. After seeing the times we took them to the vet to be put down... I'm NOT a fan. Once I had a wounded house dog on my lap the whole 20 minute drive into down while it cried, after it got hit by a car. Crushed its pelvis and rear legs. So after all that time and suffering, paid big money to get it put down. I think taking an animal in just to be put down by a stranger is the coldest thing you can do. Especially those people who won't be there for it. And especially for those owners who rake them through the hell with pain and suffering before doing it. Also think it's shitty to do it because you don't want them any more. |
