22 pound house cat? US pounds are smaller than UK pounds but...

Is there a man at CP that wouldn't kick the ever living pOOp out of a cat that acted that way?
If I'm in the bedroom it is only long enough to put on a second pair of jeans to protect my legs and then it's 'go' time. I'll be moving the cat from point A (1) to point B (2).

------------------------------------------------------------
1: The living room.
2: The compost heap.

Aye.
It merely scratched a kid; it's quite a stretch to call that an attack. One can only hope that their dog is small and insecure.

Maybe it was a Main Coone (or something like that) cat. Those can get quite large. Regarding the the dog, it depends mostly which pet was there first. If the cat was there first and scratched the dog while it still was a puppy, that dog will never again mess with the cat in his lifetime (and might develop a phobia against other cats as well).
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

Second largest breed is still a cat. It's not a tiger, it does not hunt humans.

Not large enough to be threathening.

A dog will need to know it's place; if the alpha-male isn't one, then the dog will eventually try and challenge that position.

If things were that easy you'd simply smack the dog hard when he first pisses in the house and it'd be house-broken.

22lbs is not that huge - we had Beldin, who was 18lbs (UK) of muscle and venom. It wouldn't have taken much extra food to get another 4lb on him - and I don't think it would have slowed him down.
Some cats are just "big boned" and they are seriously strong for their size. I wouldn't put my hands into a cat fight (even between smallish cats) without motorcycle gloves on!
To give you an idea of his size:

What is the difference betweeen a US pound and UK pound? Gallons I understand, but not pounds.

I was under the impression that the base unit was smaller, mind you an inch here is an inch there

I think dry weights are the same. American fluid ounces are slightly different to ours, so even allowing for them getting the size of a pint wrong, 20 fl oz isn't quite the standard 568ml over there either. But I'm not aware of dry ounces being different.

A U.S. gallon is a wine gallon; a U.K. gallon is an ale gallon.
So, it's not so much that one size is 'wrong', it's more a case of not clearly denoting the base unit.
Sort of like saying something costs a dollar, but not defining the currency type: Australian, Bermudian, Canadian, or U.S. The devil is in the details.

22lb. bad tempered cat with a history of violence, it would be gone!

My parents had a bad tempered cat when my oldest brother was born. The cat stalked the baby. The cat was removed.
People have their priorities so wrong these days. Animals are NOT of equal value to children.

If it is ill-tempered it goes, if it harms a member of the family it'll be buried out back!

I know what I would do with the cat. Let's just say delicious.

I don't think I could get past the physiological aspect of eating dog or cat, have had to many pets that I loved dearly of both species.

The trick is not to name them.
