How do you take care of a cat?

[He could probably google this but y'all are like right there.]

...wait, people do that? That's a terriblr idea. Cats need those. Most animals with claws do.

Look, don't remove the cats claws. If they start scratching anything important there are much better ways of dealing with it that don't involve removing bodyparts.

[eudaimonikos]

I'm not going to take out its claws. Those are its primary weapons.

[weird daemon-y way of approaching it, but technically not wrong!]

Though I don't think it's very good at fighting.
Can you train a cat to fight?

[wherenoonegoes]

I mean...theoretically? But I wouldn't suggest it. They're small ambush predators, so they're not built for it. If you want them do anything besides be a pet? Let them hunt pests.

Assuming it's a normal cat, anyways. Magic cats? You can throw everything I just said out the window.

[eudaimonikos]

It isn't about having it fight for me. I can fight by myself.
But it should be able to fight better.
It almost got killed by some people back in America. Maybe if it fought better it could have escaped.

You"re assuming they didn't just catch it by surprise.

Even if they didn't, there are people in New Berk who managed to catch and lock up full-grown drakes before we stopped fighting them. And while I doubt the guys who catnapped your cat were Viking Warriors, it's just a normal cat. There's only so much they can actually do.

[eudaimonikos]

Combat training covers being caught by surprise.

I bet I can make it venomous.

[wherenoonegoes]

...that'd probably help.

[It wasn't like Hiccup could say anything against venomous pets. Half the people in Berk had venomous pets, including his own wife.]
