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

Cats are extremely dangerous for their size but unless you were infirm or a child you'd have no trouble defeating a cat - it might leave you scarred and injured but if it's you or a cat you win.

Yeah, at the end of the day I have something like a twenty to one weight advantage here. Yes it will hurt a lot every time the claws catch me, and they will catch me, but it will only hurt. The poor cat isn't faring so well once I land a kick or a punch

If you land a kick or a punch.

I bet a cat could open your carotid artery before you could touch it with your hands.

I'd say I get about a one in four win rate against my cat when I try to tap him on that head without him catching my hand. I've got a big reach advantage

That’s playing though. Have you seen the videos of cats dodging cobra attacks?
