minus-squareIMongoose@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up32·5 months agoCompletely 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.
minus-squareryannathans@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up7·5 months agoNow how big could the cat get before it is a fair 1v1
minus-squarem_f@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up7·5 months agoSomewhere smaller than a tiger, that would win 100% of the time. I’d guess 30 lbs is where things start to get serious
minus-squareMNByChoice@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up7·5 months agoHumans have fought off hungry cougars. Sadly, not all humans have.
minus-squareCouldbealeotard@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·5 months agoBut are we talking a fight before one side backs down? Or a fight to the death?
minus-squarepsud@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·5 months agoI don’t think cats back down unless they can run away
minus-squareMNByChoice@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoActual fights between humans and cougars. The cougars get killed by other humans if they “win”. The cougar runs away if the human wins.
minus-squareIlluminostro@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 months agoA 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.
