“Cats are badass and pound-for-pound they are much more lethal than a canine.”
There was a show on that counted down the most dangerous predators in the world. They used a variety of statistics to determine the rankings. How often a kill was made, type of animal killed, size of predator compared to prey, etc.
The number 1 predator was the common house cat due to the wide variety of prey they hunt, size relative to prey the house cat ranked #1 in every statistic.
The common house cat is also the only predator that kills for fun.
If you've ever seen the result of a weasel in a henhouse, you would be quickly disabused of that notion.
