Visitors to one of France’s most beautiful tourist areas were today warned to be on their guard after a pack of feral cats launched an attack on a young woman.

About six cats pounced on the unnamed dog owner as she walked her poodle in the city of Belfort, in the popular Franche-Comte region, on the Swiss border, dragging her to the ground and mauling her.

She was bitten repeatedly and left with a torn artery which could have proved fatal, while the dog was also badly hurt.

Josette Galliot, the mother of the 31-year-old victim, said: "They jumped on her and managed to knock her over. "The feral cats bit her on the leg and on her arms. They even pierced an artery," Mrs Galliot told l’Est Republicain newspaper

He added: "Tourists from countries like Britain should certainly be wary – they should certainly not approach these cats, or try to feed them."

Colonies of feral cats usually begin with people dumping unwanted, unsterilised pets.

Did the cats scream “This is for Trayvon!” before the attack?

I hate to declare “post of the day” so early but man....that was funny. good job

[Cicero]

No, I think it was, “I am Trayvon!” Or, “Je suis Trayvon!” But their accent was a bit hard to understand.

Sounds phony to me.

“as she walked her poodle”

They were provoked! Walking a poodle is an act of provocation!

[Louis Foxwell]

Got to agree. Never heard of a pack of cats much less attack cats. Cats do not attack in packs. Nor do they attack prey substantially larger. This is BS.

Lemme guess... Amish kittehs.

You left out La-sha. ;-)

““The dash no be silent.”

Wouldn’t it be “La-a” then?

Everyone knows about poodle French privilege.

No no no no, this is France, they are MUSLIM “youts.” This was a classic “pass around.” Just wait till next week when they start torching cars.

Stealing this list for future reference. Excellent work!

[Barb4Bush]

I have to agree that this is BS unless maybe the entire pack had rabies. I worked in Camden, NJ for 16 years. There was a colony of feral cats on a deserted parking lot across from where I worked. They never attacked anyone or anything. They hid from dogs and people even people that fed them. No way this is true.
