Man airlifted after fight with cat
Cleveland [TX] Advocate ^ | 5/6/11 | VANESA BRASHIER

Posted on 05/09/2011 9:17:54 AM PDT by Huntress

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.

Or he drank too much of the cat’s 40 oz Olde English. Maybe even stole some of his smokes. I doubt he knew the cat had a shank.

I had a Maine Coon and he would frolic in the rain and the sprinklers. His fur seemed waterproof.

I've seen your cat. I agree he's not from this planet but he's not that warped.

I can remember when you adopted him.

"just imagine what my house would look like after about 60 seconds if we had one."

These are joke pictures, many photoshopped and posted by cat lovers.

Cats really aren't like that.

At least not all the time. LOL!

LOL! With all that hair,

We gave her a shave this weekend. We had a hard time keeping her out, but had to with the fresh chemicals in the water.

It would be my dogs that would cause the damage, not the cat! They’re sighthounds, bred to hunt big game in Africa. They hunt in packs of three. You should see Joey go up on the back of the sofa and run along it. I think he’s 85 pounds now.

LOL!
Tristan is a shell of a cat with one neuron driving the assembly.
The other neuron he shares with his sister.
Sometimes that neuron gets lost halfway between them.

And You Used to Think Hairballs Were Bad
http://tv.nytimes.com/2011/05/07/arts/television/my-cat-from-hell-on-animal-planet.html?src=dayp

That’s most cats. But the beasts in “My Cat From Hell,” a series that begins on Saturday on Animal Planet, are an entirely different story. These cats are the Regan MacNeils of the feline world: hissing, clawing, cursing, eyes aglow with demonic possession. But whereas Regan, the kid in “The Exorcist,” warranted a visit from a priest, these animals get a dude named Jackson Galaxy.

He tries to do for bad cats and their owners what Cesar Millan does for bad dogs and theirs on “Dog Whisperer”: psychoanalyze the situation and the animal, educate the pet owners, recommend some interventions. And he’s surprisingly watchable: genial, knowledgeable, full of information that might be of use even to cat owners whose animals are not possessed.

That about sums it up. I had a Manx cat who took his pill every day with no problem. We now have a fat fluffy cat from hell and its literally impossible to give him a pill. He goes totally beserk. The vet even tried it and said he guessed we better do injections.

I’d say you’re right. I catsit for my son once and Kitty was not sociable. She was hiding behind a mattress in a storage room. I felt sorry for her and was going to pet her. I knew she was declawed so I reached in to pet her. She hissed and growled at me. I tried it again and she bit me. I learned my lesson. She wanted to be left alone so after that I just checked to make sure she was ok and then left her alone. Eventually she learned to love me but it was her decision, not mine.
