When I was younger I would always try and figure out why Dragon the cat was so big, but I realized he’s a normal sized cat lol

[@CountTentacula]

I get the feeling he’s a Maine Coon cat.

[@Deined]

Dragon is definitely _not_ a normal-sized cat, lol. In a later scene, you'll see that, even while lying on his side, he comes up to one of his adult owner's knees. I've seen bulldogs smaller than Dragon.

Just imagine how scary it was for Jeremy. Yeah he’s ignoring Mrs. Brisby’s warnings, but just imagine he spots a big ass cat. And despite the distance, he can see that it’s looking right at him. It’s like noticing a tiger stalking you, and you know it knows that you’re looking at it but he’s still coming at you.

[@BDNeon]

And yet he was still willing to fly back in and distract the cat by grabbing its tail so Mrs. Brisby could get away. For all his clumsiness and goofing around, he could very much be brave when it counted.

[@3DSDF]

[@eduardosolis6383]

If you were to see a tiger or a lion, watching you from being hidden in the grass, with a lethal and deadly gleam in them, you either follow the rules of to avoid a predator, or do what Jeremy did: panic and fly for your life.

[@tiagoking1312]

The personallity (and a bit of the appearence) of this cat remind me the bear from The Fox and the Hound. Interestingly, both were defetead in a similar manner, breaking a log/branch and falling on a waterfall.

[@CartoonPhreak]

There is also a scene in some movie where Leslie Burke (AnnaSophia Robb) made a attempt to swing on a rope but accidentally destroyed it while getting across

[@LordSiravant]

The main difference being Dragon's fall wasn't fatal, since it was only a comparatively short drop of a few feet. Big for a mouse, but a mere inconvenience for a cat.

[@jaedenlyons]

Dragon sounds more like a bobcat than a farm cat

[@Deined]

He's about the size of a bobcat, too.

[@CartoonPhreak]

@@Deined Yep Bonkers is also a bobcat who is literally a police officer in the animated series of the same name from circa 1993

[@BlueRazor69]

The thing about this movie that is so good is that it keeps so many things in perspective. It’s from the view point of little field mice, of course a farm-cat would be a dangerous monster to them. I recall a part of the movie where the farmers wife tells him to get out of the kitchen. Same thing with the owl in the old tree. It’s just an owl but they portray as supernatural to keep things from the view point of the characters What a great animation team

[@Kizur13]

Dragon's growling always unsettled me when I watched this as a kid.

[@joehumpston7937]

I use to think Dragon the cat was actually more dragon than cat, but now I realize, that’s just what cats are like to rodents.

[@potaterjim]

So, the rats are intelligent because of the NIMH experiments. And the owl is intelligent because he ate those rats. And the crow here is intelligent because he's a crow, a naturally intelligent animal

[@Interestingenough4]

The owl and Nicodemus were close allies, if not implied to be separate personalities/avatars of the same mystical being, so he almost certainly left the NIMH rats alone. He was intelligent and living in the forest long before the rats of NIMH even had their own society.

[@brettsoyars4341]

[@wonjaeyi9013]

There’s no way cats can make scary sounds like dragon’s

[@MysteriousMoth3000]

thats what they sound like to mice, mouse ears are a lot more sensitive to human ears so a normal cat sound or screech will sound a lot louder, like a roar to a mouse, so its a lot more terrifying. It would be weird if they just used normal meows in this scene. They are doing it from the perspective of the main character/the mouse.

[@DraketheHighlander]

most of the sounds you hear are actually bobcat growls

[@Amelia4111]

Yeah, and just to let Don Bluth know, domestic cats like Dragon DO NOT roar, they meow! And they don't growl either!

[@adammilette3076]

the reason Dragon sounded more monstrous like in this scene is because the creators wanted us to hear him from a Mouses perspective. That's why later in the movie, he sounds like a regular cat to us.
