    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.

        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.

      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.

          This does not surprise me in the least
