Reminder: Don't kick snow into a cat's face

Here's a not-so-subtle reminder to leave stray felines alone. A woman who was apparently trying to protect her dog from an ornery cat that she'd taken in kicked a little snow in the feline's face. What could possibly go wrong?

A lot. According to WJBK Fox 2 in Detroit, which aired the video, the cat lept onto the woman's face and clawed at her forehead. The catfrontation with its silent-movie-type visuals can be seen as a tad comic, but the woman in the video did suffer significant injuries, WJBK reports.

The victim told WJBK that she had to go to the hospital after the attack with bite marks on her forehead and claw marks on her cheeks. The attack also led to an infection that caused her face to swell.

“Michigan resident Maxx says all she was trying to do was protect her mother’s dog.

This summer she had taken in a stray cat, whom she named ‘Buddy.’

On November 30, ‘Buddy’ attempted to attack the dog and that’s when Maxx tried to shoo him away. “

I don't. She asked for it.

If the cat needs a name I would suggest slim.

That cat ran up his shirt,

I used to have a big ol' black, long haired tomcat when I was a little kid that adopted me.

On two occasions I took him over to the river that ran along my grandparents house and tried to throw him in just to see if he could swim. (at the age of 7 or 8 one doesn't have much common sense)

Once the throw was attempted, the escape was made over my shoulder and down my back........LOL!

To this day I don't know why that cat took a liking to me and put up with all the abuse I think I gave it......

I agree. She kept kicking at it. Did not seem to make much sense.

We had an indoor cat who frequently tried to escape to the outdoors. One day, my husband was leaving through the front door and kitty started to scoot out. In my hurry to stop the cat, I grabbed him by his thighs and pulled him back into the house.

Now, this was a very well behaved cat, but I apparently really insulted him with this maneuver, as, after I put him down and was walking away, he came running up to me and bit my leg.

Any cat that jumped on me like that wouldn’t touch the ground alive again.

Didn’t watch video, but, per
the headline, don’t do that-—
that’s mean!

I love cats.

I don’t know why this one was so difficult. People used to understand that if you are aggressive toward an animal and it doesn’t RUN away, then you better be circumspect from that point on because it is likely to attach itself to your face the second you start to turn your back.

I feel more sorry for the cat than the woman, because she, as a human, should have known better. Poor kitty. I’m really sure it had been kicked and abused before, hence its violent reaction.
