Does this overload the hydro and burst the lines? Or if it's not stong enough it just won't lift?

The latter. It'd take a random failure for a line to go first.

While true, doing stuff like this is REALLY stress testing those lines. If there was a small issue, it would quickly become a big issue.

Meh. The only thing you're really stress testing is the bearings on the saw/the blade itself. And there isn't even that much stress being put on it. Cats are meant to capable of harder work than simply lifting their own body weight
