If our cats were only 3 or four times their size meaning they were about 40 lbs. I would be afraid of them. Their claws are like needles and razors. I tried to catch one of the wilder ones and she bit through a welding glove and through the flesh between my thumb and forefinger. She was ready to rumble.
40 lbs is big bobcat size. A bobcat can throw some more fit!!!
What was the Jerry Clower line about his cousin John up in the with the bobcat? John thought he was chasing a racoon, and the boys on the ground kept saying, “Knock him out, John!”
John kept saying, “Shoot this thang!”
Of course, they were afraid they would hit John. Finally John hollered down, “Just shoot up here amongst us! One of us has got to have some relief!”
Jerry Clower was awesome. I miss his kind of humor!!
Even little bitty domestic kittens have claws like razors!!
I fostered/bottle fed a two day old abandoned kitten, had to bottle feed him every 3 hours for six weeks. At the beginning of each feeding he would get really frantic trying to latch on to the bottle and he’d SHRED my hands with his tiny razor claws.
My hands looked like raw hamburger during those bottle feeding days but it was all worth it. He’s now a beautiful and huge sweet black cat. I named him Tiny Baby Kitty or TBK.
