A house cat can’t can’t easily kill a grown man. They have 1d4 hp against a Commoner’s 1d8, and 1 damage against a Commoner’s 1d4. Granted, that’s assuming the Commoner is carrying their default club, but even unarmed the cat would have to be very lucky. Though one in eight Commoners have 1hp, and could easily die to a cat (or basically anything that can deal damage).
They had better odds in 3.5, given that they could deal two 1hp attacks per round instead of just one and a level one Commoner only had 1d4 hp, but in there Commoners are a leveled class and it wasn’t clear how many were only level one.

Under no circumstances should a full grown human being have 1 max hp, thats just absurd. That is the house cat vs commoner disparity i mean.
