I don't want to wrestle with a pissed off 8 pound house cat, much less a wild one 5 times that size. I know a guy that ended up with over a hundred stitches as the result of a bobcat encounter, so I'm not gonna bag on this guy. Yeah, it wasn't a 100 pound adult, but it wasn't a joke either.Quote:

I've been on the receiving end of a pissed off 8 pound house cat and it's not pretty.Quote:

Was it ever revealed how he killed the cat or did I miss it?
He pinned it to the ground and stood on its neck.Quote:

Likely its siblings were too, hence why they ate it after its death.
