The biggest mistake anyone can make about a 10 pound domestic housecat is to underestimate one. Cats seriously punch far above their weight. Like someone welded a bunch of razor blades to a flying, out of control angle grinder that always knows which way is down. A cat can ruin your day quickly.
I have a 22 pound part maine coon with extra murder beans and I do not fuck with him when he’s in a mood. We’ve had to give him a bath a couple of times and I wear leather to keep myself safe
I’ve had two pet cats as an adult. The first one was very chill, probably because she grew up as a stray and appreciated being inside and cared for. The second one we got as a kitten, and she’ll bite not only when she’s upset about being grabbed, but also to show affection. Luckily, she hasn’t figured out that biting hard is a thing yet, so she just kind of gnaws on you without breaking the skin. She hasn’t yet figured out that she can intentionally try to claw people in anger/defense either, so the only times she ever actually does damage is when she climbs on you and uses her claws to hold on.

It’s a good thing their primary prey is plastic.
