Nah, the dwarf rolled a critical hit. the axe does x3 damage on a crit, and the damage roll was high, plus the dwarves strength bonus. the damage total was 34 points of damage. head damage is also doubled making a total of 68 points of damage on top of the damage the cat had already taken put its hit points so far into the minus figures it used up all 9 lives.
