I’m not buying your rationale, don’t underestimate the cat

Yeah, facts won’t fool you! Stick to your guns!

> The barred owl, eagle owl, and great horned owl are some of the largest owl species and the ones most likely to attempt attacking cats. These especially large owls are not only big enough to rival even large cats for size, but they can also carry off prey up to four times their own size.

Ok so if you read my comment, I said the owl has the advantage from above but not standing side by side on the ground… it’s not like the owl couldn’t win but it’s not like the cat couldn’t win either. And 4 times their own size? How much does that bird weigh? 4 lbs? I once had a cat that weighed no lie almost 20 pounds, but she always weighed at least 18 lbs. she was an inside outside cat and she would catch everything, she would eat that owl for breakfast

Edit:

She was so unbelievably fat, she ate everything, but she was nimble on her feet, she was vicious about food but was a very loving cat, she would bring home a bird or a squirrel on a weekly basis to show her affection for all the food we constantly had to feed her
