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.

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.

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