Makes you wonder why she would have it then.
Easy solution, arm the cat!

Is it just me or didn't Natural Selection used to work better??
Maybe she just hasn't met the right thug.
All we can really do is pray she doesn't breed

assault cat?
Hmmm. maybe this type of cat should be banned. After all, no decent pet owner really needs a cat like this, and it claws people at several hundred times per minute, it looks eeeevill. and if I pick it up quickly, it's now "reloaded" to kill again. So if it has more than one of the following characteristics, it should be banned:
* two ears
* one tail
* four paws
* more than 5 claws
* likes tuna fish
If we all work together, we can fight this spread of evil in our society. Write your newspaper and elected representatives ASAP!

My boss is like this. We live in a suburban town of 8,000. When she asked me why I carry a knife around and I told her "Just in case," she inferred protection and replied, "What for? We have our own police force."
I can't remember what exactly I told her, but it was something along the lines of, "If I get jumped on the street, I can't pull a cop out of my pocket, now can I?"

No cats shall at any time have a tail shorter than 6 inches nor an overal body length of less than 15 inches unless registered or deemed upon inspection by the BATFE/AFD (Assault Feline Division) to be immature.

Remember back in grade school when they first started telling you that "violence never solves anything"?
Apparently some people actually believed that.

RobW: All attack cats, after you throw them, are pretty much 'fulll auto' so yeah, they have "da switch" 
I think the problem with most people that refuse to take precautions to protect themselves is that they then would have to admit that evil exists and they are not just spectators. It would burst their bubble. It appears that this lady is even willing to push her bubble farther and say, "Well it probaably won't happen again and if it does the cat can handle it. The ability to dissociate and rationalize is amazing but that is what gets them through each day.

Too bad they're not making any more episodes of Meow TV. I'm sure Annabelle could have used the story about using assault felines for self-protection.
Not related, but speaking of cats, check out the "Spay/Neuter Song"

"Add me to the BS crowd. I've been a prosecutor for 10 years, and I have never seen a victim of a violent crime able to make jokes about it that quickly. Actually, most get offended if anyone tries to make light of their situation.
"Sounds like someone's seeking a little attention..."
Prosecutors don't get realistic samples. You only work with those who want to prosecute. I've been a violent crime victim more than once, and so have a number of my friends. When you live in a somewhat rough-and-tumble world those things often are not worth reporting.
The only times I've called the police are when other people were at significant risk.
I've known people like the "cat lady", so my BS meter didn't even register!

Has she been charged with cruelty to an animal (putting the cat in danger) yet? Effengee mentioned the ASPCA and PETA, above.

Hey, it takes me an awful long time to hear my alarm clock, but I'm still a gun nut!
I wasn't thinking bs until I reread that part. So she was thrown against the wall and then took the time to pick up her cat? The guy even allowed her to pick it up?
or she had it in her hands when she was thrown against the wall and managed to hold onto it?
I dunno....

Maybe an old boyfriend. You could suggest a "kat-ana"..
Seriously if it's legitimate and she is not worried about it to the point of defending herself with something real, let it go as she doesn't have the sense of a bar of soap.

She already had it in her arms. I'm getting more to the story now...seems he was on her porch and she went out of her LOCKED apartment to find out what he was doing there. She had grabbed her cat for protection. The first shove was minor, the second was worse, this is when the cat lunged.

My wife and I are jointly owned by three cats, and I can tell you from experience that one cat in particular would be a handful if he landed on your face, he's about 18 pounds of pure muscle with very sharp claws attached. That said, I wouldn't want to count on him to protect me, cats aren't made that way.
I've known a few people who think that defending themselves, even when in deadly peril, would be "demeaning". They say it would bring them down to the level of their assailant. I don't understand this, if I'm attacked for no reason I'm on the moral high ground already. My attacker is trying to demean me, my defending myself is preventing me from being demeaned.

That's what her father said to her mother 60 seconds before her conception.
In all seriousness, I was attacked by a very angry cat once. Lemme tell you it hurt like hell. But thankfully the attack didn't last long and the I don't think the cat felt any pain.
Hmmmmm On second thought maybe it was one of it's relatives that is responsible for my current condition.

I agree...
She's a mental case worthy of further study...
I know this isn't a BS story because I live in close proximity to Mass. and N.H. and many people are of the same opinion...
"It's morally superior to not defend yourself from crime."
Well, I remember a line from a book called "The once and future king"
"No knight who is false can win in combat against one who is true, in a test of arms, under the eyes of God."
That doesn't mean that I'm invincible. It means that if I must enter into a fight, that it be for a good reason.
To defend yourself should be your most highest moral obligation...
To toss an innocent animal between herself and the threat is a much more vile and disgusting act.
Unless the cat toss tactic was followed by a good sharp kick to the genitals and a quick call to 911. What would she have done if the guy just killed the cat? I'd be devastated if my pet was killed by some bad guy. Then I'd take revenge on the sick demented b@stard for killing my pet!
Personally I would have opened the door with a gun in my hands, pointing safely, and asked him just what the F#@k he thought he was doing...
As a matter of fact, I've done that before when I lived up in Woodford.
15 miles from the nearest town on Rte 9 near swamps and campgrounds.
Well, I have kids, and I have guns, and when some really scroungy looking guy is wandering around in my dooryard, peeking in my car windows, I don't waste time trying to figure out if he's "safe" I just go into defense mode and stepped out onto the porch with my AK-47 pointing safely.
I asked him what part of the posted no trespassing sign he didn't understand and what business he had looking in my car.
He just stuttered something about needing some food and not wanting trouble while he backpedaled towards the road.
I told him there was a small package store at the hotel a mile up the road and that unless he wanted a lead pill in his stomach he should pay closer attention to the signs where he chooses to find something to eat, as my neighbors are even more apt to shoot first and ask questions later.
I never did call the cops about it.
Somehow I would feel inferior if I had to rely upon them.
I did call the hotel and a few neighbors to let them know to B.O.T.L. for this creep and that he might try something else...
Nobody ever heard from him again...
Nooooo, he didn't end up as raccoon fodder. Rte. 9 is well travelled and he probably hitched a ride... As far as I know...
I am so glad I live in Vermont where I can go on errands with a locked and loaded pistol concealed on my hip.
Criminals don't fear my dog or my cat.
A bite or a scratch is nothing compared to a sucking chest wound or fatal brain damage...

I have yet to hear of anyone having to throw a dog at an attacker.
I agree. I got two good size cats at home. Both would hide from any comotion.
Cats just don't care enough about you.
Ever heard the expression "If you were turned into a mouse today, your dog would recognize you but your cat would eat you" ?

Was this whole thing a cataclysmic event? A catastophe for the victim - or perp'? Maybe a catatonic coma could have been suffered from the shock.
Have to wonder if there was a claws in the insurance contract ... de-limiting liability with feline attacks.
Paw do whichever way you look at it.
