Can cats kill dogs?

In general, cats have better solitary attack drives and quick killing capabilities, whereas a dog is more built for a prolonged struggles. As such, a large dog will pretty much always beat or even kill a cat that it deems prey or dangerous However, smaller dogs that register as prey (or a lesser predator in its territory) to a cat (chihuahuas, poodles, weinerdogs, etc), will likely be taken by surprise and possibly killed by an aggressive cat that pounces it effectively. However, unlike dogs, cats are better domesticated and less likely to attack anything other than birds or mice, and thus its a rarity to see a cat kill a dog of any type Also, in terms of non domestic cats, like cougars, pumas, lynxs, bobcats, and other things you may find in certain rural areas, a dog of any average or smaller size is likely to be killed if they end up fighting with one In conclusion, if you are asking about a one on one fight to the death the average dog would kill the average cat, in fact it happens daily in many neighbourhoods across north america. It is perfectly natural (have you seen those comic pictures of a dog chasing a cat, cat chasing bird, and bird chasing worm)

Is this a run on sentence you and I and the whole team will go?

No. That is just a style problem with the multiple subject, and is acceptable.Another form is "You, I, and the whole team will go."A run-on sentence includes more than one thought without using conjunctions to set them apart.Example :The dog ran past me he was chasing the cat. (run-on)A comma does nothing to fix it.The dog ran past me, he was chasing the cat. (run-on, comma splice)Two ways it can be fixed :The dog ran past me. He was chasing the cat.The dog ran past me as he was chasing the cat.


What has more kinetic energy a large dog sitting on a sidewalk or a small cat running down the street?

A small cat running down the street has more kinetic energy than a large dog sitting on a sidewalk. Kinetic energy is directly proportional to an object's mass and speed, and since the cat is in motion, its kinetic energy is greater even though it is smaller in size compared to the dog.


Which had more kinetic energy a large dog sitting on a sidewalk or a small cat running down the street?

The small cat running down the street would have more kinetic energy because it is in motion, whereas the large dog sitting on the sidewalk is stationary and has no kinetic energy.


How does the cat interest the dog in chasing it?

What the dog will do depends on the individual dog. Some might try to initiate play, some might just be curious and want to check the cat out, while others may want to attack the cat in an aggressive manner.
