Minimal (or optimal penetration).

PH Herve Houdebine prior to going to the blind. 460 Weatherby and a cut-barrelled shotgun. The cut-off shotgun is the recipe he got from JM Latrive, PH in Tanzania.
His leather jacket was in the backpack.
I'd have loved to have my Beretta every day 12 gauge.

IMO a bullet would just wheeze through the cat that could keep going, as a lead column would push and roll the cat anyway.
When in Alaska, the PH was using a drilling, as he experienced a couple of charges from brown bears and told me that the 12 gauge would stop and flat a brownie any time though temporarily.
After 12 gauge is a 728 calibre.
home made 12 g in Bosnia war

I notice the PH gentleman uses a bolt action rifle, therefore the need for the shortened S-by-S shotgun! (just a joke!).

Gentlemen,

I would take a Benelli Super 90 M3 loaded alternating with buckshot and slugs.

In less than three seconds all 9 shots can be on their way, which makes up for a lot of missing caused by the shooter... :-)

Sidearm would be a S&W M29 .44 Magnum with 180grs JHP,
not to mention an Heckler&Koch MP5 on Full Auto (just dreaming)

And a light body armour vest would be a "nice to have", also two nice 100lbs pit bull terriers :-)

regards
Rolf

Using that, the Taxidermist is going to have one hell of a job on his/her hands for a full mount
come to think of it, any form of mount !!!, you might get a hatband out of it
