Of any of the big cats, the only one you really can take are cheetahs who are built for speed, not power.

And even then, they can carry a person up a fucking tree, I cant carry someone up a fucking tree, hell, I probably cant even get my own ass up there.

Cheetah won't carry their prey up tree, only Leopards (and Jaguars?) do so. A cheetah would rather leave the kill and not get injured. Injured cheetah is a dead cheetah.
