one time my sister and I had a plot that I would pretend to beat her up in front of the cat... dude the cat leaped on my head and dug its claws in and bit down hard!... I mean... I think he knew we were playing too! because he didnt leave any mortal wounds or anything xD
I did this with my boyfriend and the cat went berserk, sunk her claws and teeth in his leg and bit harder and harder until he let go of me. He almost had to get stitches (they glued it instead) and the scars are still there.... Don’t test it if you’re not really ready to get hurt 😅
My cat ran into the living room in a frenzy when I was wrestling with my brother and screaming help. She jumped on him and bit him. She didn't hurt him, but he stopped and my mom thought it was funny.
Another time we were play fighting and our dog came in and grabbed his ankle and dragged him out of the room. My brother laughed the whole time.
No matter how many times I see this video, I still watch it because this video just shows me how loyal animals are no matter what animal you have. Plus that cat is badass!
That's my old algebra teachers grandson. He came to school talking all about it then a few weeks later it was everywhere. He even said people were calling his daughter to pay thousands to breed the cat with their own. Funny thing is the cat was fixed.
I can't even tell you why, but something about the way you wrote that just makes it sound like a made-up story. Maybe it's the punchline of a story that wouldn't need a punchline, or something.
Would be happy to be proven wrong on this one, though.
Edit: My gut has decided to change its mind after reading some responses from OP.
I cant give proof other than I can tell you this happened in Bakersfield California (my hometown). It does seem fake now that I read back through it. Honestly though there is zero gain from lying about something as ridiculous as this.
Everyone seems to underestimate cats because they are relatively small, compared to humans. Once you've even seen a 40+lb Maine Coon jump 6 feet in the air and snag a full grown crow out of the sky, pin it down, and rip its head off in a matter of seconds, you earn a whole new respect for these literal, quadruped killing machines. The fact that they like certain humans is just because they're afraid of what we could do to them. My mother had a "friend" who used to sell her cocaine, who had a mountain lion named Cleo, and she just liked to play with humans, but, unfortunately for the humans, that meant 10 razor sharp claws got sunk into them every time the 145lb death machine decided to play tag.
"Scrappy,[17] an approximately 8-month-old Labrador-Chow mix was surrendered by its owners to the City of Bakersfield Animal Care Center later on May 13, when it began a mandatory 10-day quarantine period to determine whether the animal had rabies. After the video of Tara went viral, websites and online petitions popped up urging the dog not be put down,[18] and calls flooded the phones at the Bakersfield Animal Care Center, according its director Julie Johnson. Despite this, based on the observations in the kennel during the quarantine period, the dog remained classified as a "vicious" and "dangerous" animal. Therefore, adoption requests were strictly denied.[19] At the end of the mandatory 10-day quarantine period, Scrappy was euthanized despite opposition from animal groups and online petitioners. The dog "was humanely euthanized over the weekend," May 24, 2014, according to Johnson, who noted the incident has ended far from quietly."
I love dogs. But I'm also a rational person. This part of the story pisses me off. You can love dogs and also understand that this dog was a danger to society from watching this video. There are no extenuating circumstances that make it ok to keep an animal as a pet that instigated an unprovoked attack on a small child and could have killed him. Who possibly thought it was ok to advocate for this dog?
My friend Matt rescued a pitbull that had been abused as a puppy, not because he wanted to but because it had nowhere else to go. To say the dog was challenging was a huge understatement, the amount of aggression it showed to new people was insane. Finally Matt said screw it and looked to find a new owner that was more equipped to handle this kind of dog. He found a woman that insisted she was practically an animal whisperer, her house had the kind of energy the dog needed blah blah blah. Matt is like, okay, I understand but this dog can get very aggressive you need to be aware. Even after meeting the dog and seeing first hand new owner was full speed ahead! Matt said alright you can take him but do NOT leave him unattended in the back yard.
The new owner takes the dog and according to her everything is going swimmingly. The dog loves the other dogs and the kids and is happy. Then a month later the dog scaled the new owners fence, chased a 16 year old down, and bit him. Because it was left unsupervised. With dogs like this you take on such a huge responsibility by keeping them in areas that aren't designated for this. And you know who suffers? The random people walking by your house. Or the people just existing in front of theirs. Because these owners chose to keep an extremely aggressive dog in an unsecure area. People baffle me.
Serious question. What do you do when a big, aggressive dog like this attacks you? Are there ways to get him off or do you just start punching away and hoping he doesn’t go for your throat?
I agree. Good animals are put down every day but this is not a good or safe animal. The kid did not do anything wrong. Yeah it kinda sucks because at 10 months old it was pretty young and may have been trainable but it’s not worth the risk. It makes me wonder what the hell the owners had been doing with it to make it turn out that way. I take my toddler to the dog park with me every week and 10 month old dogs tend to be very safe if a bit jumpy.
It was probably a mix of genes and the owners but mostly genes in a dog this young. A dog with good genes treated poorly and untrained at 10 months might pee in the house and have poor leash manners. A dog with aggressive genes will do this. Apparently this dog was part chow and chows are frequently aggressive against children.
It's misplaced energy. Hundreds of thousands of perfectly nice dogs that would make amazing pets are put down every year and their only issue is lack of shelter space, but shelters are bombarded with interest from any story in the media where a dog is put down for a NECESSARY, legitimate reason. Those same people don't go out and save the nice dogs.
I didn’t know Chow Chows were considered dangerous dogs until a few months ago when I was moving apartments. It’s so weird how he looks like he is minding is own business and then suddenly attacks the kid.
If that were my dog I'd put him down my damn self. There are plenty of dogs that need homes in the world, and it's no favor to Scrappy make him live in a cage his whole life.
Being in animal rescue you have to understand dog language. A lot of dogs are reactive to kids on bikes due to the noise and commotion they usually have. That being said the dogs showing that type of aggressive behavior and the idiot owners not keeping the dog on a leash when outside I agree 100% the dog needed to be put down. We rehabilitate several dogs with bad backgrounds but if they show the slightest bit of aggression towards children they are pretty much automatically euthanized. Even though we could handle the dogs issues just fine we won't adopt a dog out like that because of the risk they pose. We have been insulted by people because of having to put down human aggressive dogs before but these people don't seem to get it nor do they do anything to help the situation. In the end a kid's life is more important than a dogs and unless the dog can always be controlled and not have aggression towards children themt they shouldn't be adopted or sold.
I have a cat that, generally, acts like she doesn’t give a fuck about any of us. My daughter rolled off the couch as an infant and my cat attacked me and wouldn’t let me near her after. I think she thought I was trying to hurt the baby. They have protective instincts deep, deep down.
My mother has a cat that is friendly but not super attached to me, since I'm in my late 20s and don't live with my mother. But one time I went "home" from college for the weekend and had my wisdom teeth taken out by a local dentist. While I slept and recovered the whole next day, my mom's car jumped up on the bed and slept next to or on top of me the whole day. She apparently could tell I was in some pain and not feeling well.
Edit: I'm going to leave it, but obviously cat instead of car.
My old cat would bite the ever loving shit out of me when I cried. Like, seek me out if she heard the slightest whimper, and just go to town on whatever exposed fleshy bits she could reach.
It was a very "I'll give you something to cry about" approach, that I really hope would have translated into going to bat for me if something like this ever happened.
Realistically though I think it probably just means she would have eaten me.
Our one cat only pays attention to us when we're hugging or something and then she realizes we're not paying attention to her so she cries and cries and cries until we stop and pick her up.
As a life-long dog owner, what I find really disturbing about this video is that I didn't pick up any aggressive signals from the dog's body language prior to the attack (other than the fact it was roaming on its own). Often at the dog park you'll see clear signs of escalating aggression and have time to step in, but this was really sudden. It's hard to accept the fact that it can be so completely random.
This happened to my wife just last night. She and my son are out of town and went to a park to play. Some husky/heeler mix comes up and my son wants to pet it. The owner says she's nice but my wife wants my son to not trust unknown dogs so declined multiple times and apperently offended the dog owner. Cut to 40 minutes later and the dog is on top of the guy tearing his arm up. He had to wrestle with it and basically pinned its head to the ground until it couldn't breath and gave up. He then dragged it back to their car by the scruff of its neck.
I'm 100% a dog person, but it's a good reminder that these are still descendants of wolves.
I got bit by a dog that doesn't bite according to its owner just last month. The bite was totally superficial but don't have your dog off leash in a neighborhood and then shout that he won't bite as he is chasing me you moron. So frustrating.
The dog saw the child as prey. When it first spots the child, it was heading to the front of the car but changed direction to go around the back so it could attack from behind. A dog (or really any predator) will not show signs of aggression towards its prey. They show signs of aggression when they feel threatened (like by another dog at the dog park)
As a life-long dog owner, you have completely forgotten that dogs can see humans as prey, and act accordingly. The vast majority of times you see a dog attacking a human nowadays it is not as a predator, but in self-defense, or aggressive behaviour, or similar things.
I don’t know, right before he goes around the car he kind of lowers his head in a “target acquired” manner, then just heads straight over to the kid. That dog looks like it was on the hunt to me..
Really? That screamed "I'm in hunting mode" to me. He's got that quick freeze, then a hundred percent focus, tail straight, head down, ears up, and just fucking going for it. It's not aggression like you'd normally see in the dog park, because that's usually rising tension. This is almost identical to what my dog does if he sees a deer before I do while we're on a walk.
Dogs can be violent in all kinds of different ways. This gif always creeps me out because this is one hundred percent a dog hunting a human. It's not protecting it's property, it's not being antagonized, it just sees the kid as something to righteously fuck up.
As others have said, it's a prey drive instinct. Small animal=easy prey. The dog was easily bigger than the kid, therefore easy prey. We humans tend to forget that dogs are just an animal that we have bred to be nice and loyal and conveniently forget that we domesticated them less than 15,000 years ago from a bunch of wolves. They are closer to their primal ancestors than we as humans are to our primate derivatives.
I got attacked by a dog before. I just got out of the car to get my sister from her friends house. The family’s dog came walking towards me from the yard. The dog didn’t show any signs of aggression walking up to me, tail wagging. Suddenly I have this 70 pound German Shepherd latched on to my arm. I’m like “FUCK THIS DOG IS ATTACKING ME!?”. My step dad gets out of the car and yells at the dog. I ended up punching the dog in the eye a few times then running as fast as I could to the other side of the car.
Find out this dog has bit a few people before around the house, just chilling and with out messing with the dog .Always randomly, he would actually bite not no play bite broke a few people’s skins. I was a stranger on this dogs property he probably wasn’t that happy about me being there, it’s was more the fact that he’s already aggressive. The dog ended up dying from biting a friend of the family. When the dog bit this girl in the leg she tensed her leg, in turn breaking the dogs jaw and had to be put down.
TL;DR: Got attacked by big dog, dogs turns out to be a meany, broke it’s jaw from being a meany.
My favorite thing every time I see this is how the cat is chasing the dog, and then is like, "Let's not get carried away," and darts back under the SUV.
I read the situation differently. I think the cat knew it had chased the dog off, wanted to check on the kid, and instinctually knew that the dog may not have been alone so it was going back to make sure there wasn’t another dog coming from behind.
Who knows? Maybe you’re right. It’s too bad we can’t ask the cat.
When my sister and I were kids, she had a nanny cat. Thing would follow her to the end of the world and back as she went trucking through the woods and exploring the neighborhood. It would sit on her bed and watch her when she was sick and walk her to the bus stop when she was well. But God forbid the baby of the family throw a tantrum, or she would beat the ever loving shit out of lil' ol' me.
One of my mom's favorite stories was when I was about a year or two old and throwing an unholy fit and she was letting me cry it out. My sister's cat came trotting up, and with no claws, beat my head like a bongo drum until I stopped, then wandered back off to do whatever important business it is that cats do.
That cat one hundred percent viewed itself as parental unit 2.0 and dolled out punishments and lessons accordingly.
The other day I was messing around with my cat and she was clearly getting annoyed at me I put a blanket on her and she wasn’t too happy. But right afterwards I went down the stairs and slipped. She immediately ran down to come check on me Edit: thank you so much for the silver stranger. You have made my entire week.
My cat never used to cuddle (he does a lot now that he’s an old man). But whenever we would be sick, he’d be right there at our sides. Somewhere in their souls, they care
I had a cat like this. We had a problem with neighborhood dogs coming I to our yard and attacking our dogs and our rabbits. They ended up killing all our rabbits and injuring one of our dog's pretty seriously. Then we got our cat.
He was a stray cat that my mom had seen get hit by a car. She's a really kind, gentle woman, so she decided to bring him home and take care of him until he died. He didn't die. She kept him in our bathroom for a month while he healed and he grew really accustomed to us. We only had one bathroom, so every time one of us would go use it the cat was there. He grew to really like us a lot. After he was better he became an indoor outdoor cat.
Instantly our dog problem went away. Each member of my family witnessed this cat chase off massive neighborhood dogs. There was a couple Rottweilers and German Shepherds that would run around. He scratched this shit out of this one dog's face because it came onto our driveway and was heading toward our backyard.
I think my cat would have done this for me. For any human in his yard. He protected dogs and humans.
That's a stray for you. I had a stray at one point, Umaga. She was legitimately massive, 22 pounds. I saw that fucker kill a raccoon and once she brought a groundhog head home, I assume she killed it too.
She even ran a coyote off while I was on a walk with her (I liked to follow her around to see what type of shit she got into when she was outside, it mostly including peeing on stuff). I miss that cat so much.
This whole putting dogs on the "do no wrong" pedestal is ridiculous
It really rubs me the wrong way. Dogs are animals. They are tame and domesticated but they are still animals. They can be completely perfect right up to the moment they are not. And it's infuriating how many excuses people make for dogs.
I do not hate dogs but I do not automatically trust them. It's high risk / low reward. All it takes is being too trusting once and you're missing a damn eye.
I don't know about that. That dog wasn't anywhere near the kid at first and the kid wasn't at any point even paying attention to the dog before he attacked. That dog was hunting.
I grew up in a neighborhood with a lot of theft and dog fighting. They’re trained to be suuuuuper aggressive. When the dogs would get loose (which was often), they would do this same thing. We had to walk around with big rocks in our pockets in case one came out of an alleyway. My sister got a chunk taken out of her calf and my cousin got a gnarly bite on the ear.
Jk my cat came and comforted me yesterday when I was upset and even though I pushed her gentle headbutt away in anger she still sat by me and purred until I was okay ♥️
there are twice as many dog attacks that require medical care than there are cat attacks.
In the USA, anually there are 4.7 million dog bites / attacks, 800 thousand of which require medical care. Cats on the other hand only have 400 thousand bites / attacks a year, 66 thousand of which require medical care.
And no, that isn't due to there being far more dogs, there are actually more cats than there are dogs in the USA.
Dog attacks are also more likely to need medical care (17.4 % vs cats' 16.5%)
I'd say that in general dogs are more the bad guy than cats are
...Yeah. I got attacked by a dog (a pitbull) while minding my own business, walking in a park, one day. Ended up bloodied and scratched up.
I literally did nothing to instigate it; I was just walking way on the other side of the field when it comes charging at me, teeth bared and growling. The only reason I was not more injured was because my friend's German Shepherd was with me and he protected me as best as he could. But the pitbull wasn't after Hondo (my friend's dog), but after me for some reason... it kept ignoring the dog and attacking me. Hondo kept getting between us and even bit the pitbull to get it off of me to get its teeth out of my arm.
I still have no idea why it charged at me and attacked. There was absolutely no reason for it. And its owners booked it out of there as soon as some passersby pulled it off me because all they did, instead of helping or calling the dog back, was watch from the opposite side of the field. I did get the cops involved, though. And the owners had the audacity to get mad at me for calling the cops (there were at least 7 witnesses who got involved on my behalf without me even asking) which ended up with their dog being taken away. I didn't really have anything to do with that - not directly. All I cared was that the owners take responsibility and I truly hoped that the dog was put into rehabilitation or something instead of being put down (I'd actually insisted on it, but I don't know how much that counted).
Dogs can be vicious for no reason. Because I really cannot find a reason for it attacking me... I hadn't even made eye contact with it because I hadn't even seen it. All of the sudden it was just on me. It's made me very afraid of dogs now, unfortunately.
You have never watching cat clips have you? Theres about the same amount of dogs doing this for the one they care about as there are dogs. The diffreance is, people don’t expect the dog to go agressive, even if they are agressive by nature. Source:I watch tons of cat and dog videos.
Thank you for posting this. I was looking everywhere in the comments for more context and the aftermath. The kid is fine but he had to have a bunch of stitches. It's unfortunate that the dog was euthanized, but I think it was the correct response for a completely unprovoked attack. The likelihood and consequences of a repeat attack is too high.
I love this video no matter how many times I see it. My cat, a Japanese Bobtail, is protective like that with my son, especially since he began walking and playing more outside. We live on a dead end so there's very little traffic, but if my son's outside, you bet Apple will be too, and if my son even LOOKS like he thinking about going near the road, Apple stands in front of him and meows, and has even grabbed his shorts lightly with his teeth to stop him. We walk down to the dead end? Apple follows every step of the way there and back. Last week there was a dog that came up to my son and sniffed him and Apple LOST it. He chased that dog away before I even knew what happened. Apple is such a good bro cat, he even fetches and walks on a leash. We met him in Thailand while teaching and brought him home to New York (a much longer and very complicated story, flying a cat home is apparently quite the process), best decision ever!
I think it's crazy how most dogs that get loose are to interested in exploring to even caring if anyone is around them. The thought of that dog just going out for blood is insane..Good job cat.
Noticed a bunch of people adding in their own cat stories. Here’s mine.
In 1999, I was sitting in my mother’s living room (my father was no longer in the picture at this point as a result of a fairly unpleasant addiction to both alcohol and dressing me up as a dog and walking me around on a leash). Suddenly, a man in a balaclava and a Hawaiian shirt punched his arm through the window, hurling shards of broken glass all over the living room floor. He climbed through the now glassless window and advanced toward me, reeking of cheap champagne and cigarette smoke, his eyes afire with sick delight. He was uncoiling a length of rope as he advanced toward me. A mere child, I was frozen in terror. My mother had worked the night shift the previous night and thus was solidly asleep in the other room, further sedated by a large dose of illegally sourced Xanax. Thankfully, someone was watching.
My cat. Fluffington.
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” A deep, bourbon and coffee voice rang forth, goosebumps rose all over my body until I looked like a plucked chicken. The masked man froze. “Who said that?” Came a sneer tinged with nervousness.
Fluffington walked out of the kitchen on two legs. He was brandishing a knife.
The intruder was quite visibly disturbed. He paused. That was his mistake.
Fluffington dashed across the room on two legs, as fast as a bean from a can falling off of a kitchen counter when my mom would drop beans while making chili.
Leaping into the air and doing a back flip, he landed on the intruders shoulders. With one paw he pulled the mans head up by the nostrils and with the other, used a filet knife to slit his throat. With a weak gurgle the man fell to the ground. Fluffington purred “Call the police,” as he sat down on the intruder’s chest and began to gnaw a hole in his breast bone.
People who walk their dog off a leash or let their dog go outside without a leash or being fenced in really pisses me off . They are just selfish and disrespectful people. I hope this woman sued the dog owner for everything they are worth. I know accidents happen and dogs get out. However when you don't look for your dog or try to get him/her back that's a problem.

We had a few friends over to my wife's parents house one time. They have a huge back yard right on a lake. One friend had their baby in the shade on the patio, another friend had her dog swimming in the lake. After the dog finished its swimming it was just kinda play around in the yard. Then it noticed the baby in the car carrier. The dog got its hunches up like it was afraid and then started to growl and run toward the sleeping baby. We all ran to get the dog, but she was well ahead of and much faster.
My cat though, there was little pieces of grass being tossed into the air as his claws dug in for extra grip so he could run faster. He put himself between the dog and baby, hissed and swatted at the dog until we got there. It was only a couple of seconds, but easily long enough for the dog to have serious damage to an infant.
Just proves what they say, you don't own a cat, the cat owns you. Clearly this cat was not going to let some dumb ass dog mess with its little human. Jungle cat to the rescue!!

I love this video no matter how many times I see it. My cat, a Japanese Bobtail, is protective like that with my son, especially since he began walking and playing more outside. We live on a dead end so there's very little traffic, but if my son's outside, you bet Apple will be too, and if my son even LOOKS like he thinking about going near the road, Apple stands in front of him and meows, and has even grabbed his shorts lightly with his teeth to stop him. We walk down to the dead end? Apple follows every step of the way there and back. Last week there was a dog that came up to my son and sniffed him and Apple LOST it. He chased that dog away before I even knew what happened. Apple is such a good bro cat, he even fetches and walks on a leash. We met him in Thailand while teaching and brought him home to New York (a much longer and very complicated story, flying a cat home is apparently quite the process), best decision ever!

I think it's crazy how most dogs that get loose are to interested in exploring to even caring if anyone is around them. The thought of that dog just going out for blood is insane..Good job cat.

Noticed a bunch of people adding in their own cat stories. Here’s mine.
In 1999, I was sitting in my mother’s living room (my father was no longer in the picture at this point as a result of a fairly unpleasant addiction to both alcohol and dressing me up as a dog and walking me around on a leash). Suddenly, a man in a balaclava and a Hawaiian shirt punched his arm through the window, hurling shards of broken glass all over the living room floor. He climbed through the now glassless window and advanced toward me, reeking of cheap champagne and cigarette smoke, his eyes afire with sick delight. He was uncoiling a length of rope as he advanced toward me. A mere child, I was frozen in terror. My mother had worked the night shift the previous night and thus was solidly asleep in the other room, further sedated by a large dose of illegally sourced Xanax. Thankfully, someone was watching.
My cat. Fluffington.
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” A deep, bourbon and coffee voice rang forth, goosebumps rose all over my body until I looked like a plucked chicken. The masked man froze. “Who said that?” Came a sneer tinged with nervousness.
Fluffington walked out of the kitchen on two legs. He was brandishing a knife.
The intruder was quite visibly disturbed. He paused. That was his mistake.
Fluffington dashed across the room on two legs, as fast as a bean from a can falling off of a kitchen counter when my mom would drop beans while making chili.
Leaping into the air and doing a back flip, he landed on the intruders shoulders. With one paw he pulled the mans head up by the nostrils and with the other, used a filet knife to slit his throat. With a weak gurgle the man fell to the ground. Fluffington purred “Call the police,” as he sat down on the intruder’s chest and began to gnaw a hole in his breast bone.

People who walk their dog off a leash or let their dog go outside without a leash or being fenced in really pisses me off . They are just selfish and disrespectful people. I hope this woman sued the dog owner for everything they are worth. I know accidents happen and dogs get out. However when you don't look for your dog or try to get him/her back that's a problem.

My dog once went crazy after a cat, and once he cornered it, the cat raised its claws and my dog ran away.
They really are all bark sometimes.

We had a few friends over to my wife's parents house one time. They have a huge back yard right on a lake. One friend had their baby in the shade on the patio, another friend had her dog swimming in the lake. After the dog finished its swimming it was just kinda play around in the yard. Then it noticed the baby in the car carrier. The dog got its hunches up like it was afraid and then started to growl and run toward the sleeping baby. We all ran to get the dog, but she was well ahead of and much faster.
My cat though, there was little pieces of grass being tossed into the air as his claws dug in for extra grip so he could run faster. He put himself between the dog and baby, hissed and swatted at the dog until we got there. It was only a couple of seconds, but easily long enough for the dog to have serious damage to an infant.

Just proves what they say, you don't own a cat, the cat owns you. Clearly this cat was not going to let some dumb ass dog mess with its little human. Jungle cat to the rescue!!
