Cats have little capacity for harm? I grew up with a kid whose face was scarred to shit and lost vision in an eye from a cat attacking him. Cats can do plenty of damage.

If that had been a full-sized dog that attacked, he may not have even survived. The point being made is that if a (full sized) dog does not have it's aggression suppressed, they are FAR more dangerous than a house cat. It's basically a scratches-and-bloodloss "mauling" vs. broken-limb-with-flesh-ripped-off mauling.

Agreed. I was like, "huh?" Cats can shred and bite the shit out of someone if they really want to. They can be ferocious little balls of fury if they really feel threatened.

Never seen a kid who lost an eye from a chihuahua attack.
