Yep, Mom should’ve broken that up and swatted the cat long before it got that far. There are some mean ones out there that make rotten pets, no doubt about it. Still, I’ll bet that kid thought twice about future fisticuffs with that bundle of claws, teeth and muscle.
You got that right.
Grew up on a farm. Cats CAN make good pets if you socialize them properly. (really hard to do)
Mostly though, they are mean with a bad attitude.
We never let them in the house, they lived in the barn. They did NOT get fed, that was on purpose. They were there for vermin control. And they ARE the most efficient, effective hunters around. Smart, creative, and down right evil. Would NEVER keep one as a ‘pet.’ But that’s just me.
Now, for vermin control, I keep mini pins and jack russells.
A lot friendlier to people and just as effective as ratters.
The cat isn't the one she should have swatted.
