For people saying 18mph, thats the AVERAGE TOP speed of the TOP professional ATHLETES. Usain Bolt's average top speed was 23mph (the single top speed being 27mph) For non-elites sprinters, the average is around 14mph. Average people have a top speed of around 6-8mph, although that is VERY hard to measure, or to accurately make the assumptions needed to even make an educated guess. Personally i would guess 10mph for very fit people that don't actually train for sprinting speeds.
Depends if you're talking about sprinting or long distances. 6-8 mph is for long distances 15 mph is for sprinting short distances. Usain bolt is a sprinter. Syd's prob talking about short distances in which case a lot of ppl can run faster than 6-8 mph.
Hate to tell her, but Crash is slower than housecats too. Italian Greyhounds are about 25mph. Only about 10-11 dog breeds are faster, and they are all large or giant breeds except the Whippet.
While the cat can outrun the human temporarily, it will eventually cave to the human's far superior endurance. Sydney could easily keep hunting the cat for several hours on end, while the cat would probably die from exhaustion before that.
"Easily keep hunting the cat". That depends on a lot of things. Like the person and the environment. I don't think Syd could hunt down a cat in a forest. She'd probably injure herself in the first 10 minutes tripping on rocks and branches.
@@adoboflakes8473 the maximum distance a cat usually runs for is 100 yards. Even if you double that, that isn't exactly a distance impossible to keep up with.
@@CaptainRickey Sure but again, there are other factors to be considered. A cat isn't just a dumb animal that will run non stop in a straight line till it tires itself out. It's going to hide in/under objects or climb high places. When I was a kid I used to chase my cat around my neighborhood whenever it was time for her to go home. I usually gave up because she'd climb up high places that I couldn't get to, like trees or roofs.
@@adoboflakes8473 you're forgetting that a human's greatest strength is their ability to use any sort of tools, if we're still going by OP's line of thought of "hunting a cat", I mean, how hard is it to pick stones along the way and throwing them at said cat?
@@adoboflakes8473 locations she'd most likely be trapped in, which allows for isolation and starvation, which forces them out. At which point the human can easily catch them due to significantly lower stamina. That's also besides the fact you were a kid and not an adult. Adults can climb things or just in general reach higher than kids can. Also sneaking/hiding doesn't work well as a cat because a human has a much higher point of view which allows it to track the cat for much longer than the cat thinks.
@@BaconBeast11 You could have done a basic google. www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=are+cheetahs+big+cats But I guess if enough people call them big cats, an unscientific term, they are big cats.
Cats have us all tricked into thinking they're just cute innocent fluffs. In reality domestic outdoors cats are killing machines responsible for the literal extinction of multiple species of birds and small animals. Put some respect on my mans!
her being in a wheel chair rn makes it even funnier
I hate to break it to you, Syd, but felines literally evolved for bursts of speed.
The cat was just born. It’s eyes are barely open lol
They need to do this race in real life.😂
Well… they r definitely beating her now ;)
LMAOOO

damn thas crazy
6-8 is NOT top speed for the average person, unless they are obese. that's like regular long distance running speed for an avetage person.
*closes RUclips, goes outside, spots a wild cat, starts chasing it* i almost got that cat man....if only it didn't go under the fence.
"When my ankle is not broken"!!!😭😭💔
Munchkin cats are actually about the same speed as most other domesticated cat.
There’s no way that’s true they literally have shorter legs
Didn’t say they were as fast as, just that they can run close to same speed, which is faster than most humans.
The average person does not run antwhere close to 18 mph lol
sprinting? I think so, def not over longer distances. I think for short distances avg is like 15 mph

This is like as a kid you think you can jump off a bunk bed
Tbf she probably based her opinion on her friends word cats whith short legs...
Technically cheetahs aren't big cats.

According to Google cats can outrun dogs

Cats and dogs are fast. Cats are cats and dogs came from wolves. They need speed to hunt.
