Sorry for the dailyfail article but.......

It seems a cat has been caught attacking mutliple people yet nothing is done about it? The reason this has annoyed me is due to the fact if my dog (german shep.) even snapped at someone he would be put down (and rightly so!) so why is it one rule for one and another for something else?

I get riled up just the same with people with small dogs who say "oh sorry about that he doesn't like (insert - Dog, Shoes, Leg, Types of Trousers in here)" after he goes for you!

Not sure if you're having a wee bit of a troll, but have you EVER heard of anyone being even mildly injured by a cat? You might end up with a few scratches. A dog, even a fairly small one could maul a child quite easily.
 
My cat would scratch you if you tried to pick her up. I am the only one who can and tbh she only lets me do it every now and again cause she is a daft ***

Headline needs to read "Territorial Cat defends home from invading ex lieutenant colonels and children" :rollseyes:

Silly none story from a ***** newspaper
 
cats are easy to handle, a swift boot and its down for the count. Unless the cat was the size of a lion a fail to see how any cat attack can be described as a 'mauling'

Daily Mail journalistic licence in full effect here ??

Hospital for 6 days? From a cat bite?

Correct - been there (well it was only 4 days, being pumped full of anti-biotics every 4 hours... what fun...)

Komodo cat? Pah. So he spent six days in hospital getting his arm bathed in Savlon?

My cat had the worst mouth. She had a heart condition which with the medication she was on, ruined her gums. She was absolutely beautiful but her breath smelled of a thousand deaths. When she hissed, house plants wilted. She'd have a good bite too every now and again... as they do sometimes... she never hospitalised me though (probably because I'd wash!). 6 days. Ha ha.

Then you've either been very lucky, or more likely she hasn't bitten you properly.

There's a massive difference between a playful cat bite and an "i'm trying to ****ing kill you" cat bite.

I grabbed a stray that was attacking our cat and my arm ended up looking like I'd put it through a pane of glass, my hand swelled up to double it's size and I almost passed out at work the next day, ended up with cellulitis from my hand to half way between my elbow and shoulder.

Stray cats will be teeming with diseases, just like stray dogs, but looked after pets won't be on the same level.

Stray cats and domestic cats have the same differences as stray dogs and domestic dogs...i.e: domestic animals tend to have had vaccinations which have removed any rabies etc from their little bodies.

Noted that you had a very very bad reaction to being attacked from a stray cat so your body reactions were fighting off an infection contracted from the saliva of a stray cat...probably would have got away with a few scratches if it was a domesticated cat...

Edit krooton beat me to it *sigh*
 
Yes but the guy getting attacked isn't going to know if it's a stray or domesticated ;)

Anyway, it was more of a response to the people saying "cats can't hurt you, mtfu"

This, the mouth of the average domestic cat is actually cleaner than that of the average human*

*I actually know this for a fact, ive been bitten by both and it was the human bite that required all the shots >.<
 
Guys it's catastrophe that this cat hasn't been caught and be categorised as a serious offender. :D

It's a cat FFS. Not a ten stone plus dog.

I'm sorry but a bite is a bite regardless of severity!

This man speaks the truth.

Being shot by a small hand gun is practically the same as some one emptying a whole AA12 magazine on you at point blank range. I mean, you've been shot either way, what's the difference?

This is the point. That's the worst a cat can do to you if it's filthy and goes ape ****.

Imagine a 60kg Rottweiler on "I'm trying to kill you" difficulty.
 
When cats want to they can do some serious damage.

One of our cats attacked my dad once, just out of the blue no idea why she did it. The damage she did though wasn't pretty, really deep cuts in his hand and arm.

I know a dog could do more damage but any animal causing a nuisance / threat to the public should be controlled one way or the other.
