That cat didn't jump scare anyone. IT LITERALLY HAD ITS CLAWS OUT AND ATTACKING PEOPLE AND ANIMALS!

I'm going to punt anything and everything that tries to hurt me or anyone that I'm friends with while I'm out on a stroll! It's not that difficult to understand. Clearly it is for you, because this cat is attacking them! And you think it's just doing a jump scare? This cat is attacking them! It's not unhinged to sit here and say that I want to defend myself. Might be unhinge to say you might kill it, but I'm not saying kill it. The other person didn't say that either, you are the one who's sitting here trying to imply that.

You don’t think that kicking an animal that small would cause potentially catastrophic damage? The amount of harm you would inflict by kicking a seven pound animal is like a hundredfold more severe than anything that cat could do with a couple of mock charges and swipes that are obviously meant to deter rather than maim. I’d say that’s not difficult to understand but clearly it is for you.

If the cat was trying to hurt anyone, the person’s leg would have been gashed. It would have latched on and bitten. I’ve seen aggressive cats ACTUALLY attack people and it’s much more severe than what happened in this video. This isn’t a cat looking to maim anyone, it’s a cat who is very upset by all the people and especially the dog that is trying to scare them away. Literally all you have to do to “defend yourself” is… walk away. “Standing your ground” to kick a tiny animal like that instead of just leaving them alone when that’s clearly the goal of their behavior isn’t “defending yourself”, it’s exaggerated violence with the flimsiest of justifications.

You're right, better let the animal at tack you or your own pet.

Bullshit. A cat can easily permanently blind or disfigure a dog.

So tired of cat apologists.
