Knew a guy who asserted he could easily fight several cats at once and win. I truly hope he finds out one day.
Any healthy adult human could though. An old friend of mine accidently killed a cat with a single kick while "defending" his cat that was being attacked (I wasn't there so don't ask how). He was ~14 years old at the time. At the end of the day, humans are large animals, most of just don't want to hurt other creatures so we restrain ourselves.
Completely agree. The textbook is talking about fighting a cat to help it, not destroy it. You would get bit for sure but could easily win.
Now how big could the cat get before it is a fair 1v1
Somewhere smaller than a tiger, that would win 100% of the time. I'd guess 30 lbs is where things start to get serious
Humans have fought off hungry cougars. Sadly, not all humans have.
But are we talking a fight before one side backs down? Or a fight to the death?
I don't think cats back down unless they can run away
Actual fights between humans and cougars. The cougars get killed by other humans if they "win". The cougar runs away if the human wins.
A woman near my hometown strangled a rabid bobcat that came after her daughter with her bare hands. Multiple broken fingers, major lacerations, but she got him. Barely. Bobcats are 2 to 3 times the size of a housecat, for those who don't know.
Sadly, not all humans have. You still talking about cats?
Yeah we're really World Of Cardboarding it up at all times. You know the stereotypes about crackheads being dangerous in a fight? That capacity is inside us at all times.
I said several, but as the memory returns I'm recalling he might have claimed as much as twenty at once.
I took a cat through an airport back in the day (2009) and they made me take her out of the carrier to go through security even tho the carrier was airline approved and fully plastic. Who the fuck thinks that’s a good idea?
I told them if she escaped, they were responsible for returning her to me, alive, before my flight took off, because there is literally no reason she should have needed to come out of the carrier at all…
She didn’t escape, but I boarded my flight with claw marks all down my arms and chest, bleeding profusely.. my fellow passengers weren’t even upset by the meowing when I stood up and they saw my battle scars from getting through the airport…
So like sure, maybe you could.. but you are gunna get fucked up even by your best friend.
That's such a fantastically stupid opinion to have that a dose of reality might do him some good
It was far from his worst. I had to ditch that guy.
Edit: very far, to be clear
It was far from his worst.
This does not surprise me in the least
