    Plenty of dogs I know would happily chase and harass a cat, so I’m inclined to think that it’s more likely that the dog deserved it than not…

      It’s a valuable lesson.

      Dogs and cats communicate very differently. And cats sure as hell are not prey animals to be trifled with.

      I’m pretty sure an eagle could best a cat in a fight, but they hold their own against many dogs.

        Pound for pound, cats are way more dangerous in a fight than dogs. It’s just that cats are usually ~1/3 the weight of the dog that also lives in the house.
