Your story reminds me of some friends who had a big white fluffy cat. An elderly man came to visit and he was sitting on the sofa in the living room. The cat was sleeping in the kitchen and woke up to see a bunch of white hair at the top of the back of the sofa. I guess he thought it was another cat. He ran full speed into the living room and jumped on the elderly man’s head. Fortunately the elderly man didn’t have a heart attack. He lost some hair and had some claw marks in his head.
Fortunately Titus never went after anyone inside if they were invited in. Well.....he did lay in wait under the baby bassinet. He didn't allow anyone but family to take the baby out. They could only hold him if we handed him over. And that "baby" just turned 40. LOL
Good grief. Cats are funny. One of mine from the inside kept eyeing this cat that was coming onto the patio. My husband went to pick her up thinking he was doing something good. I warned him do not get between two cats even if they can’t reach other. He, of course did not listen, as the cat was about to attack the window. Unfortunately she sunk her teeth into my husband’s ankle and he went down. You know, he and that cat were the best of friends from then on. He had a lot of respect for her.
