French Woman Attacked by Cats

kylith · 26-07-2013 01:23PM #1

"Cat's are harmless," they say. "They don't attack people," they say. Tell that to this woman:

About six cats pounced on the unnamed dog owner as she walked her poodle in the city of Belfort, in the popular Franche-Comte region, on the Swiss border, dragging her to the ground and mauling her.
She was bitten repeatedly and left with a torn artery which could have proved fatal, while the dog was also badly hurt.

Must have smelt of fish.

Cats should be banned. Most owners are irresponsible.

Maybe Putin had a point.

Pussy Riots are a menace to society

With an average weight of 5 kilos , multiply by 5 or 6 you have a heavy multiple legged / clawed aggressor. Cats can be vicious on their own, I can't imagine an attack like this !! Must have been horrific !!

Also think it's high time for her to get an actual dog: not a rat with a perm.

My cats breath smells like catfood.

They must have been lions, tigers, cheetahs, jaguars, and panthers.

Maybe if they were big mangy tom cats, but is that not pretty heavy for any average cat? Esepcially feral ones which I assume wouldn't be exactly fat.

This is pretty much how Catwoman became Catwoman!

I don't think anyone thinks that - just that cats are far less dangerous than some dogs, which can actually kill. This isolated, freak incident doesn't change that.

That excuse for a dog of hers was probably winding them up

I would rather my chances in a fair fight against 6 cats , than against 6 dogs.

The article states poodle. Doesn't say toy poodle, miniature, medium or standard poodle etc. Have you ever seen a standard poodle? They're fairly big dogs.

According to your detailed and representative survey results?

Any dog that lets a couple of cats bully their owner need to have their dog identity card revoked with immediate effect.

I wish headlines in the paper were as straightforward as the ones here.

The infection from the cat bites would kill you in the end, days later in agony.

Well at least I think so, I think cat saliva is meant to be nasty stuff.

Course not, that would have been catastrophic.

Yawn.....

Given a choice of a fight with some dogs or some cats i'd prefer the dogs to be honest...

After all, A Lion is a cat. As is a Tiger. And a Leopard.

Give me a wolf that i can train like Snake Eyes pet, Timber, anyday!
