First image of the war between Canada and USA?

Those who don't learn from this history will doom themselves to repeat it.

my money is on the cat.

actually, both of them are going to lose, but the eagle is going to lose worse.

I had a cat once that managed to bring a baby bunny inside.

The bunny then proceeded to kick his ass, take a chunk off his neck, and then I caught the thing and threw it outside while he whined about getting his ass kicked.

Similar thing happened with my cat and a seagull

I heard a squawk and a thunk from my yard then my cat ran into the living room to hide behind the sofa. I went out to see a seagull jump off the wall. So I'm guessing the seagull.

The tiny coffin maker.

Jason (Seagull).

That would be true in both cases. A full grown cat weighs as much as a bald eagle does and can twist enough to put up a fight. Both sides would have a bad day. In that size range the only thing worse for a bald eagle to try and prey on is a full grown fisher which have been known to kill lynx, coyotes, and young deer despite not weighing much more than a cat (though they'll certainly go after the younger ones).

Exactly. One swipe from the cat and bro is grounded. Not worth the risk tbh.

Animorphs did this and I believe it ended in a draw.
