Well, with concrete walls your cousin is right, don't be shooting in there unless its up in wooden rafters, then a .410 would be ok if using slug, cause bird shot will bounce off of it. Up in the rafters a .22 would do fine as well. Not around concrete though, cause bad things might happen. I wouldn't go the poison route because of the cats. Best idea is a cage trap until you he gets it, not the cats. Coons are mean and can tear a dogs, cats, and people to shreds if get cornered. Coons are smart too. I've seen coons lure dogs into water and then get on their backs to drown them. I watched that happen to one of my buddies hunting dog, and my buddy went in to save the dog and did, but not before getting the crap bit out of him as well. That coon got shot, but my buddy and his dog got stitched up, and if the test results didn't come back in time, my buddy would've gone through rabie shots and his dog did quaranteened by the vet until the results got back. Now I had a lab that was great at killing coons naturally by getting them on the back of the neck and shaking them until he broke the necks, but everytime he did it, scared the stuff out of me cause coons are mean. Once my dog went after a coon I learned to just shut my mouth and not call him off so he wouldn't let his guard down and get torn up being preoccupied with my commands and go at it half heartedly. That was until he got too old and when I called him off, he came back to me. That old fella's gone now, and I doubt I'll ever have a natural like that again.
Good luck. Try a cage trap, take it out, shoot it and don't get bit or gouged by them claws.
