We'll assume that the knight is armed and armoured, while the cat just has natural weapons, and is about average for a house cat outside of high skill and probably pretty high DX even for a house cat.

The thing is, while the battle-kitty would have difficulty directly injuring the knight, apart from biting the part of the hand that is just covered by fairly thin leather (generally, even if the back of the hand and fingers are protected by plate in late-medieval armour, the rest of the hand won't be, because you need to grab and manipulate things), the skill-disparity is [b]massive, so getting the knight to hurt himself is totally plausible. Not just from critical weapon failures (which was noted in the other thread), but from running into things, or otherwise using the environment against the attacking hoomon.


Thoughts?

My only thought was that this is the cat version of Month Python's rabbit
