The first successful kill I scored in writing was against another animal player. It helps to have an understanding, innate and learned, about the capabilities of a species and to have an opponent who drastically overestimates the power of theirs. So too it bears mention that this was during a time on the internet where it seemed everyone and everything was a wolf. Us cats were uncommon, lions or tigers at best, and often played just as poorly but seemingly without the nearly as massive an overrating of capability.
