How terrifying would that be though. A housecat bigger than you. These adorable fuckers torture their pray for fun. There's absolutely fuckall you can do if a 6 foot cat attacks you, assuming they have the same hunting abilities of their regular counterparts. Their reflexes are faster than snakes. They can rehydrate from drinking blood. Get anywhere within armsreach of them, and they'll shred you faster than Dorothy from HR can shred a stack of employee complaints.

    This is why I don't think you'd see a lot of real life furries in the food industry, full body hairnet or maybe stuck working at furry owned businesses

    Well, and the fact that (personal feelings) it's hard knowing that you are killing animals for food, even if they are very tasty. Hair can be handled, crying yourself to sleep every night does things to you.

    Though 'furry owned and operated' business, hell yeah. But why is it only in the IT and Artistic categories... 🤔

    In 2004 I had a cat. My cat was one of those cats who lives exclusively for food. She would happily lay in the lap of Hitler, if Hitler had some food for her. So first thing, I always feed the cats. Then I can go sit down on the couch, and wake up in peace.

    One day we went through that routine. I put the food in their bowls, set it down, and then go sit down. As I go sit on the couch, IMMEDIATELY after sitting down, I mean my butt wasn't even fully rested on the couch cushion yet, my food loving cat pokes her head around the corner, and lets out a cry. The other cat was in the background, just looking at me like "Yeah, maybe you should come see this...."

    I walk in, and see a mouse in their food bowl, just gobbling it up. I look at my cats, and I'm like "You guys know you're cats, right? That's a mouse. You ever see Tom and Jerry? C'mon. Get to work."

    And they just stared at me. Probably on account of the fact that they don't know English, or American pop culture from the 1950s. So they just sat there, watching the mouse eat their food.

    So I got an oven mitt, and a leather glove. I picked up the whole food dish, walked it outside, walked across the street, and dumped the mouse down a sewer.

    Then I came back inside, with their food bowl, and my cats were just staring at me like "Food?"

    And I said "I don't know why you're looking at me! You're always begging for more food. That was free protein right there."

    To which she responded "Meow?"

    Eventually I had to clean their dish out, and get ANOTHER can of cat food ready for them.

    So really it depends on your cat how much of a threat they'd be. My mom had an outdoor cat in the early 90s. Very loving to my mom, and the guy she was dating. I didn't live there, so the cat didn't afford me the same love. But that cat knew how to hunt. I wouldn't have been surprised to learn it somehow took down a gazelle.

    So it all just depends. Is your cat a hunter......or a pussy?

    Same thing with birds. Those sweet little song birds, little and cute. Until you imagine yourself the size of their prey. They're freaking velociraptors.

    I think velociraptor definitely conjures the correct imagery here. However, it's always bothered me that, in reality, velociraptors are small compared to Humans. Jurassic Park/World based their velociraptors on deinonychus. But, going by size, the "Velociraptors" you see in those movies are much closer to "Utahraptors".

    There’s a comedian (I can’t remember their name) that has a bit about how they refuse to give their cat any kinds of beef-based food or treats.

    Salmon? Cool. Chicken? Great. But my cat’s ego is already big enough. There’s no way my cat could take down a cow, and she’d be insufferable if she ever thought she could.

    I bring this up to say that a six foot cat probably could take down a cow. I say this as someone who has a cat: cats are only cute because they’re like fifteen pounds soaking wet. If they were the same size as us, they would 100% consider us prey.

    Everyone talking about size while all I can see is a very polite looking cat. He's just sitting there, not making any fuss, just waiting for his meal. Almost like sitting slightly awkwardly at a restaurant waiting for the waiter to notice you.
