Its "abstract" or whatever.If a cat, for whatever psychosis induced reason, attacked a person and kept coming, it could very easily kill them. Cats bite hard and deep, the wounds bleed like crazy and infection is practically guaranteed. The reason cats don't really kill people is that they don't really attack (except in specialized situations) and almost never 'keep coming'. They attack poor little groomers and vet techs like myself, and then stop when the indignities done to them are halted. Or they chase intruders off their turf. So outside of magical influence, there's no good reason for a game situation where a housecat kills a commoner...But if there was a reason for a real keep going fight... Yes a housecat could and should take a weak schmuck like a first level commoner down and gnaw on his corpse. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Kahuna burgerPS, I think mark being an idiot should be a seperate poll, or at least multiple answers allowed...</blockquote>
