Here's a not-so-subtle reminder to leave stray felines alone. A woman who was apparently trying to protect her dog from an ornery cat that she'd taken in kicked a little snow in the feline's face. What could possibly go wrong?
A lot. According to WJBK Fox 2 in Detroit, which aired the video, the cat lept onto the woman's face and clawed at her forehead. The catfrontation with its silent-movie-type visuals can be seen as a tad comic, but the woman in the video did suffer significant injuries, WJBK reports.
The victim told WJBK that she had to go to the hospital after the attack with bite marks on her forehead and claw marks on her cheeks. The attack also led to an infection that caused her face to swell.

That would only happen once, then Mr winchester gets his exercise.
Buddy, the cat, was put to sleep.
Uh, didn’t she forget to bring the dog in, the little one she was trying to protect?
When I was a little girl we visited my aunt and uncle’s farm several times. There was this tom cat. He was a Hitler cat with a little black mustache and he was the king of the barnyard. He would come up and rub on my legs and then, without warning, start clawing me. So I figured out that he was very proud of being very clean. No dirty manure for him so whenever he came near I would toss a little barnyard dust his way. hehe. He learned fast.
Bullies tend to.
Cats can be pretty tough critters!

I feel more sorry for the cat than the woman, because she, as a human, should have known better.

Ditto.
I like cats, but I am not a cat lover. However, IMO there is never an excuse to be cruel to animals.
Does everybody except me have a video camera on their front porch?
LOL!
Amen.
...and Ceiling Cat!
And now HER stupidity has caused the poor cat to pay the ultimate price. The authorities came and got the cat and killed it to test it for rabies. It was negative, so they killed the poor thing for NOTHING. Dumba@@ woman.
What a shame.
“The first time I saw a big male barn cat take out two German Shepards that had him cornered, I knew.”
We had one of those — half city alley cat, half purebred black and white. It would scour a dog from head to tail before the dog could move. One time a terrified rottweiler mongrel ran past me yipping like its balls were on fire, the cat jumped off as the dog passed. Cat, as we called him, was as calm as a cat could be. He looked up at me with his tail waving calmly, meowed once, purred and rubbed my leg a couple times, and walked off. Ho-hum.
