Big Cats (RAR!)

[The Yosemite Bear]

like all the other RAR!s all the members of SDN get re-arranged, this time, we all get turned into litterial very big cats, looking like housecats with apposable thumbs, we possess the same amount of body mass as we do in reality, furthermore we have all the magical kitty abilities, (teleportation while unobserved by other sentients)

[noncredible]

"Sentient" includes other cat-monkeys, right?

[The Yosemite Bear]

correcct, you must be unobserved to do magic., blame Heisenberg

[Dass.Kapital]

Um..so we're turned into 'Fluffy' Kzzinty (sp?)?

What could possibly go wrong?

[The Yosemite Bear]

more like Munghi from the Dirty Pair, but without a couple of hyper destructive human sidekicks running amok....

[Batman]

I'm really good at unobserved but wouldn't I look patently silly in uniform? Besides, chances are this has happened to me already sometime or other anyway.

[Darth Fanboy]

we possess the same amount of body mass as we do in reality

Gonna be a lot of fat fuckin' cats.

[Batman]

He merely said the same mass. Not a word about what it's made of so far Given the weight some of those real world big cats can achieve without being fat...
Now if we're talking the same mass and the same composition, then yeah, probably

[Solauren]

Given the internal structure of a cat, then I don't really see how we can be 5 - 6 foot tall cats and not be lein.

I mean, Lions are generally 5 to 8 feet long (or so) and weigh about 250 to 400 lbs.

Quite frankly, if we have a typical cat's mass to muscle ratio instead of human, alot of us are going to be massively underweight.

[Batman]

I can't recall the Bear mentioning we'd keep our height, just our mass. Though suddenly being a mere 4 or 5 feet tall is certainly going to be weird

[The Yosemite Bear]

that's right, we will remain the same mass, but will have a proper feline bone/cartledge/muscle/fat ratios, which means while we will be much smaller then we are now, we will be able to do quite a bit physically with that mass...

[Solauren]

In that case, we're now capable of tossing around high end MMA fighters, and could probably tangle with alot of powerful primates without a lot of problem. I didn't say DEFEAT, I said tangle with, as in 'I have a chance of landing a solid blow before having to run away'.

And what kind of great cat? Lions are about human size. Tigers are bigger, and the rest are slightly smaller to considerably smaller.

I call Tiger.

[The Yosemite Bear]

no oversized domestic with enhanced poydactyle dewclaws forming opposable thumbs.

[LaCroix]

So an average male (160lbs) turns into a ~4ft8in long cat, with a ~3 ft tail. (Extrapolated from a 8lb (=not-fat) house cat - 20 times weight = 2.7xx times the size) That's roughly the size of a panther...
If you were to stand upright, you'd be more than 6 feet tall.

[Solauren]

Okay, I weight about 300 lbs (yes, I know, and I am dieting), so how big would I end up being?

Somewhere between a normal big cat and a Liger.



Nice Solauren kitty doesn't want to hurt anyone, right?

Can't say that gaining teleportation powers when not observed is quite worth giving up humanity to become Garfield. But to each his own.

[Batman]

Given that ordinary tigers weigh in at above 600lbs and ligers tend to be heavier than that, no, I don't think 300lbs is quite liger level.

[Darth Fanboy]

Original mass doesn't mean all mass is converted to lean muscle, gonna be a lot of fat fuckin' cats.'

Here's a representation of what I might look like, replace the bud light with a jar of bacon flavored cheese dip.

[Batman]

but will have a proper feline bone/cartiledge/muscle/fat ratios,

Depends on what the Bear means by 'proper'. 'Proper' as in befits a healthy cat of that mass, or 'proper' as in 'actually represents the body of the person who got turned into said cat'?

[Darth Fanboy]

Look I told Bear that more people on this board needed to get pussy and this is what he came up with, so interpretation is obviously out the window.

[LaCroix]

Okay, I weight about 300 lbs (yes, I know, and I am dieting), so how big would I end up being?

My first response would be 4ft8in long, with a ~3 ft tail, but more waist diameter...

But then, Bear made a RAR! in which being a fatty makes you more powerful , so you'd probably be a foot longer (5'8), and some 8 inches more tail... About the size of a female lion.

[Solauren]

In other words, I'm probably one of the biggest 'Catfolk' around. Nice.

My first order of business.... TUNA! I DEMAND TUNA!

[The Yosemite Bear]

and no one's posting video of themselves on the internets for profit?

[Solauren]

I can see trying to get a gig doing cat food commericals. You'd just have to scale everything up, or do a lot of green-screening.

[Batman]

Not only don't I need the money but where I live, largish talking cats are bound to be a 'yeah...didn't we have that last year already?'
Unless we seriously get turned into cats, loss of speech and mental capacities and all? Which I'm afraid to say would nix anybody trying to sell videos on the internet.
