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.
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.

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
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?
I don’t think cats back down unless they can run away
Actual fights between humans and cougars. The cougars get killed by other humans if they “win”. The cougar runs away if the human wins.

I said several, but as the memory returns I’m recalling he might have claimed as much as twenty at once.
