There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Anything is possible but it's still extremely unlikely. In fact, I have never seen or heard of a big cat dying from that type of wound inflicted by another. Big cats are built to fight one another, they can generally withstand a lot and if you watch any cat that prefers the grapple technique like Leopards and Tigers and you'll see it quite often. Imo the more dangerous technique is when a cat goes for the throat and the other cat is able to bring its rear legs up and claw the face of the aggressor, I'd bet that and the random paw swipe are the major contributors to lost or damage eyes.
