How many cats would it take to kill a man?

It's very dividing movie, Kotz. Just didn't click with you, I guess.

What? Movie?

The only thing Kotz has that are dividing are buttocks.

Really, I just wanted to post a picture of a liger because they are fucking IMMENSE. By far the biggest cat. Don't know how that works, breeding two animals together and getting a far larger one.

 

The lame-ass barbarian performers sort of lend themselves to the Napolean Dynamite quote.

2 Siamese cats could easily take down a man. They're quick, smart, aggressive fuckers.

 

I think that's what it comes down to, is what breed cat and also the intangibles of the human. But like I said, it could take just one. I'd imagine not many people here who are guessing the cats attacking in swarming form have ever seen a cat fight for its life. They're insane.

You guys act like these are dogs we are talking about. They run right at you. Cats are sneaky fuckers and will come leaping off something like your head if they know it is a fight to the death. Once you are concerned with getting a cat off your head(and you ain't just gonna pull that fucker off when his claws are in to you) the others could take you down at the legs. you might fall on one, but mostly they will get out of the way and then, it will get ugly. I say 5 housecats could kill a man. It would take some time, but 5 could get it done.

It's true. I've (unfortunately, since I love cats) seen two felines fighting each other to the point where one had its left eyeball literally ripped clean out of its socket and the little fucker barely missed a beat. That cat was truly hardcore.

So I have two cats, and I was sitting with my cat Peutz-Peutz on the kitchen floor when all of a sudden The Baby jumps off the refrigerator onto her like he's Rocky the flying squirrel or some shit. He just spread his legs out and flattened her. Straight down. It was like she was crushed by the Monty Python foot.

I could not be killed by ordinary cats.

I was kind of thinking of you in my scenario when I wrote it actually.

Thats what everyone thinks. yet every year thousands of people are brutally murdered by house cats.

 

 

Choose your words carefully...they are listening.

You will be killed by ordinary cats.

No way a cat's going to generate enough force and have the wits to wreck something vital. Remember, these are ordinary housecats. I could end one with a stomp or a few seconds of twisting and choking. Cats don't swarm, either, so it's not like being overwhelmed by dogs or Giant Japanese Hornets or something. If I were physically BURIED in clawing raging cats, they might have a chance due to me being suffocated, but on an open playing field as you described, there's no way a cat's killing me.

That, and I would imagine that even if the cats did decide to try some sort of mass attack, one could probably just punt them away one-by-one, keeping them from massing their numbers too greatly...for a while, at least.

It's coming for you Agent... and it wants to style your hair.

cats go for the FACE. I am telling ya, they go for the face. Punting will be useless.

[Guest Fire and Knives]

There was about a ten-minute window where this question seemed to have some kind of philosophical import.

[The Metal Maniac 0]

How far/high can your average cat leap?

 

I've no idea myself, but if it's less then the distance I can reach with my legs (IE, if I can get the bastard before it jumps) then they ain't getting at the face.

 

And I would imagine that, with quick enough reflexes, even if a cat did make a leap for the face, one could probably swat it with an arm and knock it away.

[Ripper 0]

Yeah, but you aren't taking into account the claw swinging. I mean even if you swat with the arm, remember, you are naked so that sucker will still get a chance to sink a claw in your arm. And thats just one. What if two go at a time?

 

Stop trying to be hard. House cats would kick your ass....all of your asses.

I think I could take a gang of cats. God, I'm so pumped. This thread has got me pumped up.

I enjoyed this post.

[The Metal Maniac 0]

Actually, I did think of the whole claw thing, but then I figured that if your arm was moving quick enough, unless that cat had one HELL of a hold, it'd fly off. Sure, it'd take a chunk of flesh with it, but in a fight to the death, who cares? And besides, I'd rather have a cat stuck to my arm then my face.

 

I'm not debating whether enough cats COULD kill a person; I think a sufficent number could. I'm just saying that it's not gonna be easy, and one could probably take out a few cats in the process.

[rising up out of the back seat-nuh 0]

A few cats? Perhaps.

 

All the cats? Perhaps not.

I think it's clear enough I'm correct chave.

[Special K 0]

Most of my cats could/can leap about 4-5' straight up. And they WILL latch into what they find. My fat ass cat can leap about 3' but can claw his way up a 6' fence afterwards.

You are full of lies, good sir.

Let a cat slice at your hanging pieces and then jump up at your throat.

Cats are dangerous little monsters when they want to be.

You're offended by pictures of adorable, albeit terrifying, kittens?
