Yeah. I got a leg scar from a domestic cat that I've raised from kittendom, who'd easily have ripped my face if she could reach it*. A wild, larger, and more powerful version of that seems like a bad idea.
*because I was holding a kitten that she never saw before. Yup. Fuck you Kika, I love you but you're a bloody arsehole.
The biggest mistake anyone can make with a 10 pound domestic housecat is to underestimate one. Cats seriously punch far above their weight. Like someone welded a bunch of razor blades to a flying, out of control angle grinder that always knows which way is down. A cat can ruin your day quickly.
It's fortunate their primary prey is plastic.
I have a 22 pound part maine coon with extra murder beans and I do not fuck with him when he's in a mood. We've had to give him a bath a couple of times and I wear leather to keep myself safe
I've had two pet cats as an adult. The first one was very chill, probably because she grew up as a stray and appreciated being inside and cared for. The second one we got as a kitten, and she'll bite not only when she's upset about being grabbed, but also to show affection. Luckily, she hasn't figured out that biting hard is a thing yet, so she just kind of gnaws on you without breaking the skin. She hasn't yet figured out that she can intentionally try to claw people in anger/defense either, so the only times she ever actually does damage is when she climbs on you and uses her claws to hold on.
This! I love my sweet boy and he's so gentle and kind 99% of the time. But sometimes he choses violence. He is the reason I think all people who keep big cats as pets are not logical.
He puts on a delightful and majestic display of smugness.
Toxoplasmosis is a Hell of a drug.
