I mean they’re not like horses I don’t think they could carry a proportional tiny house amount of weight.

Small enough to get eaten

Really? I mean, humans can ride horses and I think aa horse would struggle to eat an adult human being. For this example I am assuming that horses are predators and as such are equipped with claws and fangs of course.

Pumas and lynxes both go after things that are outweigh them several times over, so I maybe wouldn’t count myself safe if I were small enough to ride a domestic cat

Also anecdotally, having lived with pet cats most of my life, god damn they are fast and they’re stacked with more knives than the average kitchen. I would not want to fight a cat that was bigger than me.

If a domestic cat with claws intact wanted to kill you, it would be hard to stop it.

I’ve only had brief encounters with truly angry cats, and they are nasty. One did a single swipe with its paw at my hand and just scooped out a chunk of flesh like I was made of soft serve ice cream.

A lion would eat a human and is smaller than a horse. A predatory horse would wreck the shit out of a human.

And also, horses don’t regularly go vertical, upside-down, climb trees, etc…
