re: Could a person kill a bobcat with his bare hands?

Bobcat? Yes. Get it on its side and try to break every rib. Your gonna give up an armthough. That’s the key. You’d have to give a limb up to survive.

Get up to mountain lion size, and of course tiger and real lion size? Your fricked. The most evil thing on a house cat is the back claws. I can’t imagine what a tigers back claws could do. If a miracle happened and you got past the front paws.

Best bet would be to try and shove your arm down it’s throat and grab something important. Lol. That’s all I got.

Here's another photo to help you assess what you'd be dealing with. Bobcat's twice the size of a regular cat and a whole lot more savage, I expect.

After reading 9 pages of supporting evidence from both sides I can confidently say I would probably defeat a bobcat 7 out of 10 times

I could kill a damn bobcat with my bare hands now. I'm 5'9 235lbs. I would break that's cats back with swiftness.

I don't see why we couldn't kick it. Or punch it. No I wouldn't recommend wrestling wth it but why would I need to? Humans don't have fangs or claws but we can kick punch and our dexterous hands are useful. Not to mention we are smart enough to figure out the best way to attack. A dumb animal only knows one way.

A bobcat isn't a whole lot larger than a house cat. It would scratch the shite out of your arse but a human could absolutely kill it.

Yes. Bobcat would be no issue. The human is the larger stronger animal here. If you can't defeat the bobcat, that is just Darwin at work.

If you think only 2 out of 100 people are capable of killing a housecat you are crazy

Well grab up the nearest housecat and give it your best shot Mr. Badass. Bare hands now, no cheating.

A mean housecat would prob kill you
