A Cleveland man was attacked by a housecat Friday afternoon and the man's injuries are so severe that he had to be taken by air ambulance to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston.
The altercation between the man and the animal occurred at a home on CR 3182 a few miles south of Cleveland in Liberty County.
At some point during the attack, the man and the cat reportedly were injured by a knife the man was holding. The man was taken to Cleveland Regional Medical Center before being transported to Houston.
Game wardens Danny Diaz and Adam Broll captured the cat. It was taken to Big Thicket Animal Hospital for examination.
The man's identity is unknown at this time.
Ping!
Where’s the obligatory Viking Kitty pic?
I guess it’s safe to say that the cat won.

There’s probably more to this story then were being told. Domesticated cats don’t do this sort of thing unless there was something else going on.
Don’t mess with Lizzy ping
Was it his cat, or was he a visiting persons in said cats home.
Cats know who is good and who is bad and also knows those who don’t like them.
I have my 2 little freaks (had 3 but Kitty died in 12/16). My sister does not like cats and my 2 that are left know it. They do not come out when she is there.
My bff on the other hand have the 2 of them ALL over her, which I feel bad because she is allergic. She has one of her own, but they know who likes them and who doesn’t.
Hey Cletus, watch this....
I love kittens at that age - they are THO FEERTH!

Catnip, beer and a few careless words about the loyalty of dogs.

What?!!!! A CAT was injured?!!!! OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!!!!!
That’s very true. I’ve always had a way with animals, they seem to love me. I even talked a bear cub out of a tree once and it’s mother didn’t even mind (she was about 100 feet away or so).
Kids don’t try this at home.
WINNING !!
If it was anything like the cat attack in the first half of this video, I’m not surprised. They can be extremely vicious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIoOJKLHeY0
