Let's say, for the sake of argument, that you get a cat with an aggressive personality and good fighting abilities. Tell me how much that's going to help him when he tangles with a larger species. I live in a very populated suburb and we still have coyotes and foxes and bears. I've seen a coyote run off with a cat in it's mouth.

And you could give your cat a gun and teach it to shoot and it could still get run over by a car. (Okay--it probably won't learn to shoot--opposable thumb problem and all that...but you know what I mean.)

And even if you had a cat that could defend itself, we all know stories of people who are big and bad until someone bigger and badder comes along. And there's always someone bigger and badder.

The best way to protect your cat is to do it yourself. It's not the cats job.

For outdoors I would suggest some pretty lawn ornaments. Kitties are for the inside.
