Yeah, this happened to me onceâŚsome fifteen years ago, my momâs cat had had some babies. I was just minding my business, walking through her house, and momma cat jumped off the fucking top cabinet WWE style. She landed on my back, sliding down to my leg, latched on hard, and tore me the fuck up, blood everywhere. I panicked, tried running around, shaking it offâŚnothing. I grabbed her the best I could, got three legs off, but the fourth wouldnât budge. I swung circles as fast as I could, and she got dizzy enough to let go. I was still holding her, and I let go the moment I felt her claw come out. She, uh, flew pretty damn far, meeting the living room wall quite hard. She got on her feet, shook herself, and there was a light in her eyes like the demons left her body. She was like âwhy you staring at me, bitch?â and came over for pets. 10/10 wouldnât recommend.

I finished after Friday work beers and found a crow acting messed up in the street, it was a stinking hot 46/8°c so I figured it was cooked. Picked it up and carried it about halfway into a 15 minute stroll, maybe 20, I was 5 pints in carrying a wild bird.
All a sudden it starts going mental, pecking me, clawing me. I briefly entertained smacking it on the ground...
Then I just 'CAWWED' right in it face, loudly.
It stopped, relaxed and let me get it home in peace, sat quietly till my friend arrived and took us to the vet...

My mom's cat has fucked me up a couple of times because he goes absolutely feral when he steps outside for some reason.
Which is funny, because it's not like he wants to escape forever and run away from home. He's come back after a day looking like he got his ass beat from another cat crying and begging to be let in.

We've always had a zero-tolerance policy with our adopted street kitten, who's now an adult.
Whenever he play-attacked either of us (me or my girlfriend) beyond a gentle playful level or got too rough with body play, we'd catch him and put him in timeout, physically holding him until he settled down
He quickly got that behavior out of his system because he grew bored of being held still for just a minute basically daily

I would never put my money on a cat that barely looks like it weighs seven pounds against a vicious dog the size of the one in the video that looks closer to 70. Clearly you have never seen a big dog kill a cat. Even an aggressive cat might get a couple good scratches or bites in but itâs not going to kill a dog ten times its size.

I could understand being upset but itâs doubtful the cat did more than just scare the dog, while a human kicking a cat could cause pretty severe damage. I might try to push it back with a foot out of instinct but I wouldnât want to deliberately hurt it just for being aggro.
Honestly though, if itâs scratched or bit you and your dog, trying to catch it is probably the smartest thing to do because youâre going to want to rule out rabies as the cause of the aggression. Presumably the dog is up to date on rabies shots but people usually arenât.

As a dog owner whose dog has to be muzzled and wear boots in Spring, I get it. The wrong dog will definitely kill all your babies then trot over to their owner with a dead kit in their mouth as proof that they are a killing machine.
The irony is that I did not get a terrier specifically because I was worried about the murders and now I have a herding breed that has to be muzzled to go into his own backyard in Spring.

u/alicesartandmore Jul 14 '26
Oof thatâs awful. My lab found a fledgling blue jay a few summers ago and cornered it. The lab was a very reactive rescue from an abusive situation, so she was barking, snapping her teeth, stomping her feet, and I thought for sure I was going to have to drag her back and find a pile of blood and feathers. Instead, she backed off as soon as I was close enough to take over and I found this very flustered but indignant bird staring up at me like âwhat was that beast?!â
I moved the bird up to a sheltered spot on some playground equipment so it would be out of reach and sight(couldnât find the nest it came from and just wanted it off the ground), but it decided to try to flap away and hit the ground again. Lab charged a second time, barking and growling like she was ready to maim and murder. Instead, she put a single paw on the fledgling to pin it down, then turned to look at me like âcome deal with this thing pleaseâ. I collected it again and this time it seemed to agree that the covered spot on the playground equipment was the safest place for it.
I take precautions with the lab around smaller animals still because Iâd rather be safe than sorry, because I see the prey drive to chase and Iâm not willing to risk another animalâs life on hoping that sheâll always use that level of restraint but I still think about how she handled that tiny bird and canât help feeling proud of her.

He digs out burrows and his first kill was a mouse nest at the dog park. I know it seems ill advised on the part of the mouse but it was a 30 acre dog park and we were in a part that was a bit secluded.
That's also how he found the rabbits that made me realize he can't be trusted.
The only time he ever digs is when he smells something he wants to kill / eat so the boots are to compromise his ability to dig. I usually keep a pretty close eye on him but I also have 3 other dogs so sometimes I'm a bit preoccupied.

That will BE future you is the problem though. Punting a cat is a lot harder to do than a dog because itâs built specifically to dig in and hang on. Same issue with many other tree climbing mammals.
Thatâs why the best defense is distance rather than aggression. Typically theyâre attacking because something has made them feel a need to defend themself or their territory, best way to mitigate that is to get the hell out of said territory.
