In my experience cats don't seem to go down as easily as some other animals. No experience with big cats though.
If I were to run I. To something dangerous it would most likely be a hog or pack of hogs. For that I would say .45 ACP is the absolute minimum. If a bag is charging you he is coming at you armored side first. Either be a damned good shot with your .45 or revolver or pepper the shit out of him with 9mm an hope he divides to back off.
I would be carrying FMJ in whatever I chose to use.
