While this is likely true for at least some cats- this study has been misquoted. The original researcher behind the study didn't say cats wanted to kill us at all. The study also didn't find what many outlets are reporting. Traits of dominance, neuroticism and impulsivity weren't the main traits attributed to cats- they were three traits the study used to show differences in levels of each between species of wild and domestic cats. They are traits in personality and not factors of the individual cats personality nor the total measure of feline emotions. Cats tend to be enigmatic and don't have quite as many facial muscles as dogs. We aren't as specifically co evolved to read the emotions of cats as the cats place in society hasn't really required the same level of cooperation as that of the dog. It's easy to imagine these little "born hunters" as our for our blood, but there's no more reason to think your cat would want to kill you than any other predatory animal would.
This is factually true. However... Neither is the truth. If we go by the definition "covered or surrounded by water" on a macro level we will have water in most formations we naturally find water in which is neither of those things- and water which is one or both. On a molecular level, atoms aren't actually arranged in those neat little spheres in pictures, but more based on a few configurations of where atoms may possibly be in relation to a nucleus. By this definition we can't say all molecules do or so not meet our criteria. If we take a single molecule- it can't by definition be surrounded by itself by accepted special reasoning. So... some water may be wet, some may not. If you can feel the water, you are wet. Of course if we change the scope of the discussion facts change.
I don't think my cat would want to kill me even if she were twice my size. She's a big goof and just likes to cuddle.
Also... Lions and Tigers raised from captivity don't have this instinct unless you present your back to them.. in which case it's more of a reflex
