i was attacked
 

by killer stray cats. it was unreal, quite the adrenaline rush but freakin scary

my friend gina and i were walking her two dogs, a weinerimer (sp) and a boston terrier puppy.

We walk by a house and Lola (the big one) starts barking. A big full grown wild stray cat attacked, followed by two more of the same size. Those cats backs got so high they looked huge. They were pouncing on the dogs and biting and scratching. They would not let up it was scary. I thought for sure I was going to get some deep gashes from those nails.

I kicked one in the side and he flew a few feet, regained composure and attacked again. Poor little puppy stood no chance against those nasty animals. So I went into "flight" mode instead of "fight" - i didnt feel like taking on a pack of strays.

I started running with the boston terrier (Bruno) and one of the cats chased us. Poor Gina was freaking out and I was just yelling to her run! run! She started running finally. The cats chased about 20 yards or so then turned back.

Some lady came running around the corner to see whats up. It was crazy!

Another page to write in my book of wild experiences.


Those cats seriously need to be put down. They are dangerous. I couldnt imagine what a mother walking with her young kid and their dog would face.. It would be terrible. 3 big cats together put a good fight together.

Moral of the story..

Stay away from the strays.

I had this same thing happen in an alley when I was younger walkng my dog. Two cats attacked so fast I had absolutely no time to react. They both danced on my head multiple times before I figured out what happened. They were bouncing off walls of a building and back on my head and I flat out could not move fast enough to even swat one. It was dark and I have no idea where they went but they did not keep up the attack. I had just entered into my deadly crane stance ready to strike mortal blows and they were gone. I have never felt so slow in my life.

This sounds much worse. I came out of the alley and my hair and scalp had a cyclonic bloody appearance. But at least they stopped. It must have been the deadly crane stance.

Seriously they probably had kittens around. Good thing you did not get scratched in the face/eyes. Hope your dogs are Ok. The story above is true, those animals were so damned fast it was amazing. I accidently trapped them in a tight area. They did not touch my dog.

They also can destroy a house. Here in eastern Pa. about 2 months ago people were complaining about a putred smell coming from this home. The home was owned by a elderly woman who was know to take in stray cats. So the authorities thought she might have about 20 cats. They got a court order to enter the house, to there astonishment they found over 100 stray cats having free range in the house and the woman was dead. The smell was so bad that the people who entered the house were wearing gas mask because there was so much ammonia gas from the cats pissing all over the place. These cats were not litter box train. They were also living in the walls and ceilings. They were so malnourished not being fed they were eating the carcasses of dead cats around the house. Most of these cats were put down because they were infested with parasites and diseases. They saved about a dozen kittens. The authorities didn't know what to do with this home so they decided to burn to the ground, because there was no way to salvage this home destroyed by these cats.

"The authorities didn't know what to do with this home so they decided to burn to the ground, because there was no way to salvage this home destroyed by these cats."

they burned down someone's private property?

let's forget about the unconstitutional seizure here. didn't anyone own a bulldozer?

maybe they should have just dropped bombs on it from high altitude instead.

AT: get the dogs checked for rabies maybe?.....and any women should be using a walking stick for ANY varmints(2 or 4) legged:eek:

yes, we will be walking with sticks or 9 irons from now on. Gina is going to call the vet to see if they need any shots, etc. Gina and I are fine.. we were just shaken up and had a huge adrenaline rush.. the cats were mostly going after the dogs.

Pgardn your story sounds scary! I cant imagine if those cats would have attacked my face. But man, are those animals fast and they can really jump.

by the way, all three cats were big and black with green eyes the size of a bottle cap! i think its bad luck to get attacked by three black cats!

Lori, go to the doctor... those suckers could have had rabies or something.

Lori,
Call animal control and report the attack (when and where) and maybe they will pick them up.

good advice. And, get yourself a can of pepper spray.

wow, my gf has a bunch of stray cats in her neighborhood and she wants to go for a walk around tonight!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEK!

dont bring any dogs along for the walk! or bring a golf club...

screw the golf club, bring one of these:



PS...use a little pine tar to get a good grip, swing like Barry Bonds and watch those felines fly out of the park

9-1,
That pic looks a lot like what I'm gonna look like very soon.
Although I have a lovely cat, Mitts, that I keep confined, I've been going round and round with NYS DEC, the local mayor in my village...
The story:
I plant an organic garden.
I buy the seeds, pick the rocks and weeds....rototill...on and on.
The feral cats use it as their "litter box".

To me, it's as disgusting as someone going down the produce aisle of your local market and pulling out a spray bottle full of cat urine to spray on your lettuce, spinich, and chard. The feces also hold pathogens that are not good for root crops like carrots and beets.

I've had enough of "cat owners" not keeping their "pets" confined.
And I'm currently seeking remedies so as not to "break the law".
I've had enough!

Seems to me that my beans are more important to me as the strays are to their "owners".

Cats are an invasive (non-native) species. They are a health hazzard.
So, do I put out bowls of anti-freeze, leg hold traps, or sit with my scoped 22 and pick em off when they come in my garden to do their business?
I've had enough of them!
Thanks for your suggestions...and letting me vent.

hello, they said the woman who owned it was dead.

but then YOU should have known THAT!!;)

dead. check. i did see that.

what about heirs? without a will it still goes spouse, children, parents, siblings, etc. here in california probate. the order can be different state to state but the government is always the last at at the end of a very long line.

i know it's a crazy thought but i think the poster might have maybe just made up the part about a government agency burning down a house because it was wrecked by cats.

I'm watching you Lori:eek:

My friend (works for the Humane Society)told me of this and I stated a couple of things wrong. First I thought the house was burned and it wasn't. It was gutted and the only thing left was the frame. Every thing in the house was burn in an incinerator to destroy the health hazard. Like they do in poultry farms that are infected by disease. The kill the birds and burn them to stop the spread of the disease. Sorry for my miss interpretation.

Now thats FUNNY !:D
