My oldest son and I dream up outlandish scenarios and see how the other would solve the problem. Last night he asked me if the domesticated house cats decided to rise up how many could I kill before succumbing to death by a thousand scratches and bites.
I said 87 of course. So what's the average Arfcomer kill count on house cats, with no weapons, other than hands and feet?

Quoted:
If I could kill 2 of them, I could use them as makeshift gloves and go all "Wolverine" on the rest. My luck, I'd be blinded by an allergy induced sneezing fit and get taken out by this first one. How would you deal with the one that has a hold of your back and bitting your neck?

That one cat, the meanest cat took down a heavy set woman with a vicious jump combined with a forehead bite along with 2 paw ear claw.
Video on here recently Eta. Cat attack |

Quoted:
Say you're taking a dump and your pistol is on the counter. Cats swarm the bathroom and attack! Quoted:

No weapons? I don't understand the question. Say you're taking a dump and your pistol is on the counter. Cats swarm the bathroom and attack! Fling poo? |

Quoted: That depends. Do I get to arm myself? Not going to work on all of them.  |

I remember this conversation on reddit with 5 year olds.
Lets assume all cats attack at the same time and are fully committed to taking you out. This means that unfortunately due to their ability to attack vertically (unlike babies) that up to a dozen or so could be engaged in scratching/biting you at any time. This also means that your arms would be held down by cats fairly quickly and that as soon as you fling one off another one will take it's place. Also lets assume that flinging them off will not remove them from the fight and that you have to break their necks or stomp their heads to count as a 'kill.' I think that I could probably stomp maybe a dozen of them and break a dozen or so necks before I go blind from scratching. In fact eyepro would be so helpful in this situation along with pretty thick pants that what you are wearing could change the whole equation. In fact I would say that having proper equipment like a full set of motorcycle leathers and a helmet would make me the fucking cat terminator and I could take down hundreds of them but put me out there in my skivvies and no clothing and I would probably be toast before I managed to kill a few dozen. If I were to have to fight cats right now with my EDC and current clothing I could probably take down a few dozen but the eyes would be a bitch to cover as I broke necks as fast as I could. Dang, that would suck and be really painful. |

Dang, that would suck and be really painful. In an ideal situation I would want to be in full motorcycle leathers with helmet. The tide of battle would change quickly! But for the sake of argument let's stick with the bathroom scenario
