Tanya and Cathy - two of my co-workers - are participating in a walk for Howard County (Maryland) Spay and Neuter and animal awareness programs. Animal Advocates of Howard County are sponsoring a Walk for Paws on October 8th. They are dog people and I wouldn't be surprised if Tanya took one or both of her German Shepards, which got us contemplating me bringing Pekoe, the fabulous orange tabby:
"Pekoe! Come here! No! Don't kill that little dog. Just becuase he's smaller than you doesn't make him prey." (Fabulous orange tabby that he may be, Pekoe is still a solid 12-pounder and a bit of a thug. When he lived with Blue, Pekoe's ambition was that Blue - who was four times his size and weight - would die blind and soon. Peek still regrets that he didn't make this come to pass. He did, however, terrorize Rusty, Jean's very cute and friendly Dauchshund such that Rusty wouldn't come out from under the wing chair for several days.)
"Pekoe! Come on! It's time for the walk! We're all walking this way, Pekoe. We're walking - now. We're not lying sunning ourselves on the pavement now. Come on, Peek."
"Pekoe - get down. I am not carrying you through this walk. No! Do not hang to me with your claws. Get down and walk."
Yeah, definitely much easier just to pledge $10 and let Tanya and Cathy do the walk.

Your description reminds me of the cat Greebo from Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" series. That cat, whose coat was pocked with scars and missing part of one ear, was the most fearsome, independent beast ever to walk the land. It wrestled bears, for pete's sake. AND WON.
