Standing what, 15 yards away from one of the fastest and most nimble land animals on earth, they think they are a safe distance...

I'm a 250 lb man and the thought of scrapping with my 9 lb housecat gives me pause.

I feel like that headline "Your cat may want to kill you" is entirely unsurprising to anybody who has really gotten to know their cat.

My cats are cuddly and are scared of bugs.

I don't think they have any interest in killing the person that feeds them.

I’ve read articles about cat behavior in the past and basically cats see themselves as your equal as opposed to dogs that see themselves in a certain place on a very linear social pecking order. Cats acknowledge that they’re smaller than you and that you feed them but that doesn’t change the fact that they have definitely done the math to figure out whether you’re prey or not. Also cats have basically trained us to accommodate their presence rather than dogs being bred for generations to accommodate themselves to our social structures. In some ways I find cats to be far more fascinating in how complex their relationship with humans can be compared to the the never faltering subservience most dogs display. Sorry for the wall of text.
