The case I recall was similar. A burglar broke into a house that contained a very territorial house cat. The guy was apparently skulking around the house when the cat launched himself at the guy’s head and did the fuzzy buzzsaw routine. Same thing - cat ripped out the guy’s carotids, idiot bled out. Owner comes back to find a dead body with a happy cat sitting on top of it.
This was back in the 90s and was reported in (IIRC) the Orange County Register or the LA Times. I haven’t found any online links to it.
Thanks for the story. I can certainly image one of my cats doing this. (The others would show the burglar where the jewelry and good silverware were if he gave them kitty treats.)
