They also have a bigger soul (POW) than most priests and a wholly unearthly dexterity, much more than natural felines. Especially in the RQ-3 writeup.
And to boot. Even the European lynx, at it's 15 - 20 kg's of nonmagical terran cat is tougher than the shadowcat writeup.
Unfortunately Lynxes are rare in Finland these days, but when a lynx encounteres a big hunting dog, it's the dog that gets killed and eaten.
Not so in Hero Wars, unfortunately. The regular doggies are tougher than the poor cats.
