I don't think BC vs coyote is fair. Bobcats are a great deal smaller on average. And redfoxes are bigger than cats. My female cat chases dominate male Chihuahuas out the yard. |

You cant compare a fox to a chiwuawua Also their are cats equal in size to foxes Why were chiwuawuas made? I really dont get why youd make a breed that frail and small Edited by Black Ice, Aug 2 2012, 11:54 AM.

Errm i think you will find that Taipan very much thinks Bobcat Caracal->Coyote I dont understand why you are bunching all small cats togeather, Serval,bobcat,wildcat,Euro Lynx will all differ greatly in strength, i might as a well just say all domestic dogs are weak compared to there wild relatives as most of them are. Dogs lost there ability to grapple to become better at running, like deer and horses becoming stiff legged, see dogs are runners and not fighters, leave that to the Cats and bears

when did i say that you said that? sorry but you seem to have a hard time comprehending the meaning of sentences, if shorter neck equals stronger neck then hyenas neck would be especially weak as they have exceptionally long necks however hyenas are known for having very strong necks, shorter does not mean stronger Edited by Veli, Aug 2 2012, 08:58 PM.

No shorter really does normaly mean stronger, Hyenas may just have immense neck muscles to compensate for there long neck, shrink their neck and it would be even stronger. |

I'm not really convinced that shorter automatically means stronger. I think it's more a question of leverage. A shorter but thicker arm would express more strength for executing certain actions, for instance pushing. In some instance longer arms and muscles can be an advantage, for instance a boxer can deliver an explosive blow at greater range. |

My friend witnessed his cat get killed by a fox. They cannot kill one face to face as they don't have the strength to bring down a similarly sized cat, but there jaws are pretty strong for there size, if they can get one from behind they can kill it. |

The fox got in the neighbors backyard It didnt know the cat was back there too. They were hissing and growling for about 5 minutes and mock charging The the fox just attacked and bit the cats head while the cat was scratching its face up The fox shook the cat for about 3mins then walked away I live in rural areas so red foxes are quite common |
