I have seen some vicious dog attacks, but I have never read of a cat attack that was this bad.

Here's an old story about a whole Canadian family that had to run away from a crazy cat attack!! I searched on "Siamese with an attitude problem" (what the cop said that night,last line in story) and the story came right up:

Siamese cat goes on rampage
May 14, 2002

A Canadian family had to flee for safety after their pet Siamese cat went on a rampage, tearing at clothes and skin and driving them out of the house, police said.

The shaken group called police in the eastern port city of Dartmouth after taking refuge on their lawn on Sunday evening.

"Earlier in the afternoon, the cat had attacked the babysitter," police Sergeant Don Spicer said. "The residents went to check on the cat and, essentially, the cat went crazy on them as well.

"It attacked the father and ripped his pants as well as the flesh underneath," Spicer said.

It took police officers, armed with a blanket and a clothes hamper, 20 minutes to corner the cat. Spicer said Cocoa the cat was eventually secured in a pet carrier and handed over to the family who took it to the veterinarian.

It was not yet known what caused the cat's frenzy.

"We've been called to deal with a snake or various animals for one reason for another. But this is the first time that I can recall an actual cat going berserk," Spicer said.

Another police officer said Cocoa was "a Siamese cat with an attitude problem."

Glad MY little darling would never do that. Although, if she doesn't want to be picked up or if she's really scared, I know I best better not F with her. Actually, if she doesn't want to be picked up and I do it anyway, she usually just lays there and looks peeved. It was just one time I was trying to get her out of the garage and she didn't want to go that she went off a little bit.

My Uncle had a cat with a nasty disposition. I used to call it Demon Spawn.

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

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.

Kitty can get beserk. My poor kitty slashed at me shortly after arriving in my new home. My hand's almost healed from all those sharp claw wounds... Beware The Wrath Of Cat!

We once adopted a cat after the owners had moved away and left him. He soon nipped me in the hand between my thumb and first finger, ended up in ER on IV for 8 hrs. Two weeks later, husband ended up in ER with nip to the exact same place. Apparently, in Kitty Kombat School, they teach which spot to attack to get the house to yourself for 8 hrs. The docs told us that kitty bites are nothing to take lightly.

It gave new insight as to why the neighbors had moved sans kitty, but he turned out to be one of our best cats ever. He chased the dogs and herded them, and they listened right up with no argument. After some years, he became indignant when we acquired some other kitties (also rescues), so he packed up and moved next door to live out his life.
