If a kitten can draw blood on me and make me wince in pain. I have no hope of upscaling from there.
A 9lb house cat can overpower me, and I'm 6ft, 250lb.
Long story short, the GF's cat gets incredibly sick and has to be fed through a tube. Well one day she gets better and decides that she doesn't want to eat through a tube anymore, and that's when I learned just how strong they are. Literally had to use my all of my strength to keep her from squirming, and she was still managing to break free.
There's probably a psychological aspect to it, I have a cat and need to give him oral meds that he hates. I have to grab him and force the dropper in his mouth, and only after months of half the meds dribbling out and the vet chiding me, did I start grabbing his head firmly and shoving the dropper in his maw.
Before that I was too soft and "aw poor little cat".
