Hello,

I live in a neighbourhood with a lot of cats, what breed would be the best
fighting, so I would not have to worry about it getting it's head kicked in
by every toughie cat around the hood ?

Thanks

On the off chance that this is not a troll, there are two more
sensible options: an indoor cat, and  a cat so large that it doesn't have
to fight.  Adult Main Coon Cats tend to be *huge*.  Mongrels often make
very good indoor cats.

Are you advising that domestic cats will not fight against Maine Coons at
all due to size variance ?  In other words, a Maine would crush all
opposition and the other cats know it ?

It is not a domestic breed.

Geoffroy's Cat would do much better wouldn't you say Nicolaas?  Maybe a
Pallas's Cat? I know an Ocelot that would be the best

Hmm .... maybe.  Depends how fast they can run, I guess.

If you neuter your cat, and (I will assume) most or all of the neighborhood
cats are neutered, then there is no problem....Neutered cats don't fight,
because there is no prize to fight over, and only human beings are stupid
enough to fight over nothing....Cats know better........

Hi, you have a point, but I had a neutered cat in the early 1990s and he got
in fights quite often, if he was challenged !

Sure, any cat will fight if challenged enough, but a neutered cat has a much
lower aggressiveness threshold. They don't spray or mark their territory
near as much. Along similar lines, I had my Deetoo spayed before her first
heat because after reading that it lowers the risk of certain diseases
during adulthood. There's always a number of advantages to having a cat
spayed or neutered early on in its life.
