Cats can be very dangerous predators. However, they don't always win if you check some of the very interesting videos of big cats hunting on Youtube.com. Quite often they do indeed bite off more than they can chew and sometimes they pay with their lives. The most dangerous adversaries include, crocodilians, big snakes, hoofstock including wild pigs, other carnivorous mammals such as bear and wild dogs among others. I'm sure some monitors could best a cat if it came down to it.
