Knew a guy who asserted he could easily fight several cats at once and win. I truly hope he finds out one day.

[–] UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 35 points 5 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] m_f@midwest.social 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

But are we talking a fight before one side backs down? Or a fight to the death?

[–] psud@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago

I don't think cats back down unless they can run away

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 1 points 5 months ago

Actual fights between humans and cougars. The cougars get killed by other humans if they "win". The cougar runs away if the human wins.

[–] UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 1 points 5 months ago

Sadly, not all humans have. You still talking about cats?

[–] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's such a fantastically stupid opinion to have that a dose of reality might do him some good

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

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
