Unless the cat is pregnant, has babies, has rabies or is cornered—fearing for it’s life.....the cat naturally flees...not attacks.
LOL. You didn’t meet these three cats. ;-)
The puppy was so cute and friendly. It was white with black spots. They named it Spot, of course. The cats were named Satan, Lucifer, and Beelzebub. (I’m not kidding.) Because even the owners could see these cats were mean.
Later, they had two more cats who were sweet and cuddly. But not the other three...
