Or even feral cats! "Cat owners should be aware that feral cats have killed limited- and free- range cats." Source : Feral Cats and their Management The speed, agility and reflexes - notably the ability to achieve a dominant position in a 'blink of an eye' should always be considered in any match up. Notably against stiff bodied animals. The Jaguarundi v Mountain paca thread comes to mind - the Paca would find itself in a hopeless position before it knew whast happened to it against a cat that actually kills for a living.. |

I wouldn't say so, as cats (in intraspecific at least) fight on their side mainly against another lying opponent, so do mustelids. Dogs, bears and hyenas seem to fight upright and standing. |

I think housecats cannot be taken as measure of felid fighting prowess. Wild cat species are far more aggressive and deadly. Anyway, the frequent interruptions probably aren't due to exhaustion but to a kind of ritualization and display occurring in many intraspecific cat fights. The famous lion vs tiger from the 'Big Cage' movie show that when they want cats can fight for prolonged time at very intensive pace. Of course it's a movie but the fight is no fake. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4318948967926803903#docid=-6902311227603109690 |

The video is useful for the smaller cats vs whatever topics, wild or otherwise. I don't believe they are much different, especially when referring to cats up to 20 pounds. Larger cats cause more damage a lot quicker and are another story. I also don't agree that the cats were utterly exhausted after a few seconds. They have the ability to wrestle for control, pausing to see if the other is willing to back down. But they do possess less stamina when compared to canids. With an equally matched opponents, canids also pause for a moment to catch their breath, especially if they have a good hold. Cats, no matter the size are very explosive. It appears they do exert a lot of energy in a manner of minutes. A lot could happen in a manner of minutes. |

When do domestic dogs kill each other in normal fights?? Unless they they are really un matched in breeds like jack russell vs bull mastiff And the damage that domestic dogs can put out is very minimal. |

It's not uncommon for feral cats to have fights almost EVERYDAY and never die from cat fights. If "feral Jack Russell Terriers" were on the loose like feral cats I can assure that the death rate from fights would be much higher. Rodent Hunter weaponry doesn't cause much damage. |

Tell people who have had to take their pets to the vet from attacks from other dogs that the damage is very minimal. |

In a serious fights involving hunting and fighting breeds can readily lead to the death. Body signals and submitting are natural ways canids avoid such serious scenarios, the vast majority of dogs utilize this which is why fights to the death or very serious is not a common occurrence. Dogs can produce a significant amount of damage, enough to cause the death of another individual. You can pit two apbts, and other fighting breeds together and the end result can easily be death. Dog fighters don't want their dogs to die for the most part and separation is done to save the loosing dog. Of course there is not need to explain anything to you because nothing gets through to you. I could (hypothetically) show a video of a fight between two fighting dogs that result in death under 2 minutes literally but you would just blow it off and re-post your earlier nonsense. Dogs being unable to kill each other or being poor killers is a misnomer. Certainly they posses the ability to severely injure each other without the factor of infections. |

patterdale and other terriers have killed each other or similar sized breeds, either it be a pet dog or a fellow working dog. They are stubborn and serious dogs don't always make use of the canid body language used for submission. Both dogs will viciously fight for dominance and due to their nature, both refusing to submit until one stops fighting, esteemed exhaustion or death. Luckily there is a reason why terriers are often kenneled separately so these scenarios usually involved the more inexperienced person who keeps multiple dogs together. |
