To determine which side won when one donkey tugged with five cats, we need to compare the strength of each team.

From the given information:
- Four cats tied with three dogs.
- Two donkeys tied with six dogs.

Let's analyze the individual strengths of each animal:

On the cat's side:
- The ratio of cats to dogs is 4:3, which implies that each cat is equivalent to 3/4 of a dog.
- Therefore, the total strength of the cats is (4 cats * 3/4 dog per cat) = 3 dogs.

On the donkey's side:
- The ratio of donkeys to dogs is 2:6, which implies that each donkey is equivalent to 3 dogs.
- Therefore, the total strength of the donkeys is (2 donkeys * 3 dogs per donkey) = 6 dogs.

Now, let's compare the strength of the cat's side (3 dogs) with the strength of the donkey's side (6 dogs).

When one donkey tugs with five cats:
- The equivalent strength of one donkey is still 3 dogs.
- The equivalent strength of five cats is (5 cats * 3/4 dog per cat) = 15/4 dogs.

Adding these together, the total strength on the cat's side is (15/4 dogs) + (3 dogs) = 27/4 dogs.

Comparing the total strength on the cat's side (27/4 dogs) with the total strength on the donkey's side (6 dogs), we see that the donkey's side is stronger.

Therefore, when one donkey tugged with five cats, the donkey's side won the tug of war.
