      My black cat could take down a fisherman who was carrying a tuna, I feel like this counts.

      If I spent my youthful days running around the open fields slinging a spear around… I just might bring down a cow (water buffalo or something similar) here and there. It’s not beyond reason.

        If pet owners let cats grow to full size, instead of keeping them cooped up indoors they could claim the same.

        smh.

    If I lived by this I’d only be feeding my cats moth/butterfly flavored food

      Ok, first off, a lion…swimming in the ocean? Lions don’t even like water. If you placed it near a river, or some sort of fresh water source, that’d make sense. But you find yourself in the ocean, a 20 ft wave, I’m assuming it’s off the coast of South Africa, coming up against a full grown, 800 lb tuna with his 20 or 30 friends. You lose that battle. You lose that battle nine times out of ten. And guess what, you wandered into our school of tuna and we now have a taste of blood! We’ve talked to ourselves. We’ve communicated and said, “you know what? Lion tastes good. Let’s go get some more lion.” We’ve developed a system, to establish a beachhead and aggressively hunt you and your family. And we will corner your, your pride, your children, your offspring…”

      How ya gonna do that?

      We will construct a series of breathing apparatus with kelp. We will be able to trap certain amounts of oxygen. It’s not going to be days at a time, an hour, hour 45. No problem. That will give us enough time to figure out where you live, go back to the sea, get more oxygen and then stalk you. You just lost at your own game. You are out gunned and outmanned.

    That’s some “campfire cooking in another world” type of stunt. Sylvia would dump it at the back door and demand you butcher and grill it.

      This is literally what house cats do. Humans ‘hunt’ and leave the food for them. House cats are scavengers.
