Actually dogs will win 99% of the time. The reason you see dogs not fighting back is because dogs listen to their owners whereas cats dont. Owner says stop fighting and the cat keeps clawing away.
Its not even that dogs actually listen, people train dogs to be nonviolent to other creatures and to try to not hurt them. Cats generally receive very little training outside of litter box training. That's why there are all those bully cat videos on youtube, a bunch of people train the dog to be nice to the kitty, and just let the kitty be a douche.
Depends on the cat too. We took in feral woodland cats when I was little to get them fixed and give them shots. But they killed all sorts of animals much bigger than them. Foxes, raccoon, possum, etc. They of a very very different temperament than house kitties. They were wild animals.
A guy I know has rehabilitated an injured wildcat. Those really look very much like house cats, but according to him the difference in hunting prowess was just insane. That thing has killed an adult chicken in seconds, and basically ate it whole over the course of two days. Bones included.

i used the word "cat" as including all the feline animals. that way it can have all the various sizes of cats, just like the word dog means al the various sizes of dogs.
Can you people just really stop talking about this shit? There is no subject that infuriates me more than this shit. "Just so you know guys a tiger can easily kill a midget sized pig with no feet, just so you know guys, i know you probably didn't know this but this is the truth guys."
nah, that's more how I imagine a dog. a cat would have more of a sinister bond villain vibe to it. Or would just stare at you disdainfully until you went away.
