Feral cats are a real problem in Australia, since they are an apex predator where there are no dingoes, unlike in Canada. I have found that cats have a 95% death rate where I live from predators and the only ones that survive are those that do not stray to far from the protection provided by my dogs.
Best rifle for cats?

Me wife used to catch cats fer a local asian eatery in Ottawa when she was a kid. Chicken chow meow.
That is the common misconception cat meat wasn't for the regular clientele it was for the special asian guests that frequented the restaurant.

Same thing as you'd use on small dogs, a 22lr.
But I don't know why you'd want to shoot a cat, they put a huge dent in the bird population.
And if you were a light sleeper who had trees beside your window, you'd want songbirds to go extinct as well.
Now dogs on the other hand, that's something you'd want to shoot.

My neighbours dog killed our pet rabbits when I was young. Broke the cage they were in, and killed them.
My father told the neighbour that we would not tolerate his dog on our propperty.
Next day at 7:00AM crack went the 12 gauge.

in all fairness, any feral cat/dog is a problem that needs to be dispatch. A farmer who let me hunt on some of his land had one strict rule.

Haha my thoughts exactly! Tell the story
That idiot will eat anything. No wonder he contracted trichinosis a number of years ago.
Best rifle for cats? Well, if it is the neighbor's cat, then any .22 LR will do. Anything bigger then whatever is in my hands when I need it will suffice. I am liking the idea of a .243 or so. 7.62x39 would almost be perfect with good soft-points.
The science is not at all in dispute from my perspective. I have never seen any peer reviewed science that refutes the studies that prove, feral cats are, quite detrimental to the native bird populations. The only arguments I have heard are 100% emotion based.
223 is without emotion.
