Excellent! Gotta love your knowledge of animals and I DO love the lawnmower comparison, as well as the 10vs10 deathmatch-thingy And the "disclaimer" tops it off nicely. Props to you!

In reply to this comment by rychan:
Well, since people are speculating on cat vs ferret cage matches, I'd definitely put my money on a cat. That's not really fair since most cats will weigh twice as much as a ferret.

But pound for pound, it's still hard to be intimidated by ferrets (and I've had one draw blood attacking me). They're mostly slinky. They can't use their claws for a whole lot. They're clumsy. They're about as stealthy as a lawnmower.

As for dog's vs cats, again, dogs tend to be bigger so it's not usually fair. But pound for pound I'd have go with the cat again. Cats can rotate their wrists to grapple, dogs can not.

It seems to me that ferret's are niche hunters (that niche being places slinkies can go but not cats, such as tunnels or small openings to hen-houses). Cat's are (usually) solo, ambush hunters. They often fight, by themselves, prey that is near full strength (although surprised). Dogs are pack, endurance hunters. They'll track, chase, and encircle prey across many miles. They hardly have to kill their prey after many chases because the animal has nearly run itself to death.

So if it's a cage match, I put my money on a cat. If it's a cross country, 10v10 deathmatch I put my money on the dogs. If it's a fight in Madison Square Garden's sewage system I put my money on the ferrets.

Disclaimer- I love all these animals and would hate to see them actually fighting each other.
