An overexcited man was attacked by a cat while unwrapping a present in a hilarious video. Andrew Woodard was caught on camera sitting by a Christmas tree while he unwrapped the gift in Macon, Georgia. 'I got a PlayStation! I got a PlayStation for Christmas!' he yelled excitedly. A cat nearby then hopped onto Woodard and attacked him.

Odd that this video was labeled as “hilarious”. The attacked person was seriously injured (had to get stitches).

Cats are like pit bulls - sometimes act really sweet but go feral at the most awkward moments.....didn’t stop us from having a few over the years though and had one that never touched either of us with a claw or took a bite - even when being force fed a lousy tasting pill....still miss that guy.
Good for the cat taking down an adult who thinks he’s four years old.
Man acting like a child so cat made things real for him.
He scared the poor kitty.
Cats can just be jerks sometimes.
I love cats, I have had my share of attacks.
Was the cat being a jerk? No, not really. The guys goofy behavior stressed out the animal. Honestly you can even see the freaked out dog approaching him too.
The guy shouldn’t have ripped up the kitty’s wrapping paper, my cat would have been pissed too. All wrapping paper, ribbon and empty boxes are hers, even the dog knows that...
I am not the type to make excuses for a cat’s vicious behavior and just let it go.
Yes, this person was acting out for the camera/phone. However he was making no aggressive moves against the cat.
We have a house kitty, we can act any way we wish, and it is quite docile. Since kittenhood she has never, ever been aggressive, scratched or bitten us on purpose. If we act aggressive to her she thinks we are playing and plays back, but never with puncturing bites or bleeding scratch marks.
If the cat in the video belonged to us, it would have quickly been taken it outside and introduced it to Mr 12 Gauge, or maybe Miss Twenty-Two.
It’s not a good idea to sound like panicked prey around cats.
Puddy would be outdoors from that point on.
I wonder if the pitch of the man’s shrieks set the cat off. Years ago, we had a docile house cat, but when my fourth-grade daughter brought home a recorder and started blowing on it, the cat went into attack mode. Any time she tried to play it, the same thing happened. She quickly learned to lock the cat into a bedroom before practicing.
Did the cat look like Hitler, too?
“if”
Was he still wearing his pajamas?
Guys an squealing faggy immature dip s#!t.Cat was just letting him know that.
We took her in as an act of charity, assuming that her previous two (abusive) homes hadn't been so bad that she would be permanently psycho. We were wrong. She was a jerk. We knew why she was a jerk, but that didn't mitigate the fact that she was queen of the jerks. If she did anything positive, it was to convince me that life is too short - or possibly too long - to tolerate a really mean cat in the house.
More germane to the video is my observation that one does not screw with any cat's fresh, crinkly paper. You don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind, and you damned well don't mess around with Fluffy's new paper... be it a sheet, a sack or a box.
