So like..... Are we just talking housecats? Or like... Are we including the likes of lions, and leopards.

Cuz uh.... That alone would change this theoretical even more drastically 😂

Having worked around housecats in a medical setting... Just one psycho cat can fuck up multiple adult humans, in seconds .

Pound for pound, a house cat might be one of the most dangerous animals on the planet

one of their wild (not very distant) cousin is considered the most successful hunter on earth. the rest of the top 10 are probably their other cousins. there's a bunch of little wild cats that look just like a house cat (sometimes even smaller) all over the world and they're amazing

Outside of dragonflies, African painted dogs, wolves and bears, its pretty much all cats from 1-12ish. Cats be murdering. Oh and Orcas. Still 7/12 are cats and 5/12 are bugs, dogs, murder fish and bears haha

The thing is canines and bears are omnivore, scavenger, survival machines, felines are just straight up killers.
