    Plenty of dogs I know would happily chase and harass a cat, so I’m inclined to think that it’s more likely that the dog deserved it than not…

      It’s a valuable lesson.

      Dogs and cats communicate very differently. And cats sure as hell are not prey animals to be trifled with.

      I’m pretty sure an eagle could best a cat in a fight, but they hold their own against many dogs.

        Pound for pound, cats are way more dangerous in a fight than dogs. It’s just that cats are usually ~1/3 the weight of the dog that also lives in the house.

          Which is also why they’re social animals. One cat isn’t a match for a bear. When ten cats are together the bear is rethinking its choices.

        A cat that is not afraid of a dog is soon coyote poop in my area.

        Keep the little murder machines inside please.
