I'm so worried for their dignity! If I ever attempted to do something like that to either of my two cats, I'd be worried about multiple lacerations.

I have a feeling this male cat hasn't been neutered.

I got attacked pretty bad by a cat about 15 years ago. Punctured an artery in my ankle -- lots of blood! Even after I pinned it down to the ground with basically my full weight, got hold of its arm and flung it into a cinderblock wall, it still tried to come after me again. But that was a feral tomcat, not a cat that there was any sign had ever had a home. I had to get a full series of rabies shots, since the cat couldn't be found and was definitely acting bizarre.

I have seen some vicious dog attacks, but I have never read of a cat attack that was this bad.I had a friend, who while growing up, had this really big tom cat, who was extremely territorial named "Fang." A new family moved into the neighborhood, and their dog, a full grown German Sheppard, came into their yard and started marking the trees. A few days later, while re-marking the tree, "Fang" came screaming down out of the tree, onto the dog's back. The dog was in really bad shape, and IIRC, took more than 100 stitches to patch up. That dog never came into their yard again (none of the other neighborhood dogs did either. I guess they never told "the new guy."
Seriesly though, a few years later they had to put the cat down, when it began attacking people. It attacked a mailman who maced it, but still needed serious medical attention. The cat was late on his rabies vaccination, so they put him down for the test.

Cats and dogs can and do go wacko, depending on the animal in question, its heredity, and its treatment. I have a kitten that has scratched and bitten us, but just as mostly play. I have also seen dogs attack as well. I have been bitten by a rather large German Shephard when I was a teen. I would rather be attacked by a cat any day than a large powerful dog. Cats may cause some damage, but a large dog can maim or kill.
I have been attacked four times as an adult by large dogs (German Shephard, Golden Retriever, Boxer, and Rottweiler). Fortunately, the dogs were called off by their owners all four times. Cat bites are nasty injuries to endure, dog bites can be far worse IMHO.
As a side note, I once had to work with an ostrich. They don't bite, but they are so dumb, that they will run you over. Imagine being run over by a 500 lb. (plus) bird. Not pleasant.

She is a B-E-A-U-T-Y! What a love!
Cats are so beautiful... why anyone thinks they can improve on them is crazy!
