I think a person who’ve had proper food is gonna win against a homeless person.
No, what you’re saying is “I believe a guy who’s been eating twinkies on his couch with no stress whatsoever would, in a fight, beat a guy who’s been fighting the elements and hunting for a living”.

Where do you live that homeless people are hunting?

In this metaphor, the homeless person is the outside cat, and cats are little murder machines.
Whereas inside cats get lazy enough that they can barely catch a fake mouse on a string.

That’s the point of the comment. It’s pointing out why the analogy doesn’t work. A stray feral cat, with few exceptions, MUST hunt to survive. A homeless person can use a food bank or scavenge or beg. They are not in the same situation and cannot be directly compared in potential fighting effectiveness.
