I mean they’re not like horses I don’t think they could carry a proportional tiny house amount of weight.
Small enough to get eaten by said cat.Edit: nvm someone already said this lol, why am I always late to answering
Depends on the cat, you can ride a lion with mixed success
If you ride the right cat, you can be pretty large. I’m pretty sure a lion could support my weight.
Small enough to be afraid to dismount.
Dismounting a horse is scary
Yes, but not because the horse has claws and likes playing with its prey before it kills it.
Small enough to get eaten
lmao I commented the same thing before I read this
Really? I mean, humans can ride horses and I think aa horse would struggle to eat an adult human being. For this example I am assuming that horses are predators and as such are equipped with claws and fangs of course.
Pumas and lynxes both go after things that are outweigh them several times over, so I maybe wouldn’t count myself safe if I were small enough to ride a domestic cat
Also anecdotally, having lived with pet cats most of my life, god damn they are fast and they’re stacked with more knives than the average kitchen. I would not want to fight a cat that was bigger than me.
If a domestic cat with claws intact wanted to kill you, it would be hard to stop it.
I’ve only had brief encounters with truly angry cats, and they are nasty. One did a single swipe with its paw at my hand and just scooped out a chunk of flesh like I was made of soft serve ice cream.
Animals fight all-out. Humans usually don’t. If you were in a real fight for you life with a house cat–or even a bobcat–it would be pretty easy win for a human. Lynx or larger? No.
Cats are extremely dangerous for their size but unless you were infirm or a child you’d have no trouble defeating a cat - it might leave you scarred and injured but if it’s you or a cat you win.
Yeah, at the end of the day I have something like a twenty to one weight advantage here. Yes it will hurt a lot every time the claws catch me, and they will catch me, but it will only hurt. The poor cat isn’t faring so well once I land a kick or a punch
“Like soft serve ice cream” hahahaha, I actually chuckled. Because yes, I too have been a victim.
A lion would eat a human and is smaller than a horse. A predatory horse would wreck the shit out of a human.
Wait there’s predatory horses?
Well, horses (and most other herbivores) are actually opportunistic carnivores, so they’re only a few generations away from switching from opportunistic to actively hunting some of their food.
And by opportunistic carnivore, I mean they’ll chomp an unsuspecting small mammal or bird if the mood takes them.
one took out superman
Damn…
And also, horses don’t regularly go vertical, upside-down, climb trees, etc…
I’m pretty sure my cat would just flop over and refuse to move.
What if you were like muad’dib and you lured them in by going pspspsppspsp
She would just stare, unimpressed, and lay there like a lumpy sack of potatoes, mocking me.
if the cat can ride you at your size, imagine swapping sizes next.
Get a bigger cat.
I’m sure you could ride a lion.
At least briefly
Never forget the good old smile on the face of the tiga!
This should answer all your questions
Just when you think it can’t get better than laser gal they hit you with cat atomic
