I had one cat turn and latch onto my hand, at the base of my thumb & first finger. I could NOT pry her loose.

Holding the srcuff of her neck with my other hand, I used the cat-hand to turn on the bath tub’s cold water faucet full force, and inserted the cat’s face into the stream. She let go in a hurry, and was suddenly at arm’s length, with her legs facing away from me.

My wife was standing by with a large, heavy towel, not to dry her, but to swaddle her until she calmed down.

But even after this whole ordeal, the Ostermiller family hasn't turned their back on cats. They even plan on getting a new kitten soon

Two words: toxoplasmosis gondii. They clearly have a case of it.

Just look at her...she’s GUILTY!

(my sympathy is with the cat)<<<

Of course the cat is snarly, she has a family to protect and does a good job of it, it would appear.

Hate to tell the lady that cat cuts go with the loving they give.

This 3 legged kitty of mine, gets me at once a day, for with one leg, if she jumps in your lap and misses, that one leg is going to dig in with claws wide open.

Cats and spiders are just... different.

I’ve said over and over to cat brainwashees that they need to realize if they were half as big as they are now but their cat was twice as big as he is now, the owner wouldn’t be “the owner”

He’d be “the lunch”

I adore my cats, but all cats are hysterical little beasts, and they do have wickedly sharp teeth and claws. We recently lost one of my favorite cats (part-Siamese — died of cancer at age 20), but personable as Ursus was, he would sometimes get outside and then get completely batsh*t crazy because OHMYGOSH HE WAS OUTSIDE AND HE WAS GOING TO DIEEEE!!! AAAAIIIEEE!!!!! Quick like a bunny, we would have to pull on heavy work gloves and then throw a blanket or something over him to get him back inside. If we had been stupid enough (like the stupid owners in this article) to just try and grab him, we would have deserved the facefull of angry cat that we would have gotten.

Poor mama cat. She was just crazed from hormones and territoriality. I guess her troubles will be over now.

This sounds like a load of BS.
A pet house cat does not do this.
Either they were doing something horrible to the cat or it was a feral cat to start with.

If you die alone in your house with your dog, it will guard your body for as long as it has breath.

If you die in your house alone with your cat, it will guard your body ‘till dinner time.

She needs to get a pair of cat handcuffs and she needs to get them right away.

You’re absolutely right...they are animals and when my cat gets “moody”, he gets reprimanded, just like I would a dog, but I don’t pick him up! It makes them worse!

A nice spay or neuter works well. Too many people act like they own a cat. ha, thats a joke.

This person should have fixed her screen and her cats.
