Grizzly Bear wins this matchup, with a 94% chance of victory against 6% for Domestic Cat in our 3-round simulation. Its biggest advantage is strike power, 99 to 16 out of 100.

The simulation puts both animals on neutral ground. In the wild, terrain, the size of the individual animals and plain luck would all change the result.

## Verdict: Grizzly Bear
- **Win probability**: Domestic Cat 6%, Grizzly Bear 94%
