Visitors to one of France’s most beautiful tourist areas were today warned to be on their guard after a pack of feral cats launched an attack on a young woman.
About six cats pounced on the unnamed dog owner as she walked her poodle in the city of Belfort, in the popular Franche-Comte region, on the Swiss border, dragging her to the ground and mauling her.
She was bitten repeatedly and left with a torn artery which could have proved fatal, while the dog was also badly hurt.
Josette Galliot, the mother of the 31-year-old victim, said: "They jumped on her and managed to knock her over. "The feral cats bit her on the leg and on her arms. They even pierced an artery," Mrs Galliot told l’Est Republicain newspaper
He added: "Tourists from countries like Britain should certainly be wary – they should certainly not approach these cats, or try to feed them."
Colonies of feral cats usually begin with people dumping unwanted, unsterilised pets.

I miss that dog and she has been gone about 25 years now.
May I respectfully offer: Rikkikikkikwanda. An ACTUAL name found in the death notices here last week- a granddaughter of the deceased. I shudder to think what she will name her kids.
How about ‘Pa’Jama’, because the mother was looking at pajamas in a catalog and thought it was beautiful.
Lions manage it.
I. Have. No. Words.
The Intrusive and Unnecessary Apostrophes are a new development in the continuing evolution of AA Names.
Also the West African Sounding Names (Which replaced the Grandiose American names such as “Washington”, “Jefferson”, and “Roosevelt”) are now giving way to names that sound ARABIC.
Which is interesting because the Arabs STILL have Black SLAVES.
“Sharknado”. Best...movie...ever!
Heh, I knew what you meant. If you google Demarius you find a lot of hits on black football players and/or arrest records.
If it is true it’s because the dog provoked them.
If you change car to muzzy it might be more believable.
We are talking alley cats here. Not the king of the jungle.
Lotsa Africans in France, maybe they are conducting training.
Muslim terrorist cats?
” I shudder to think what she will name her kids.”
Rikkikikkikious, if it’s a boy?;)
