Subject: French pussy gangs!


Gang of feral cats attacks woman and her dog in France

Josette Galliot, the mother of the victim, said, "The cats jumped on my daughter and managed to knock her over. They bit her on the leg and on her arms. They even pierced an artery."

"My daughter thought it was a living nightmare. She's still traumatized and is bordering on depression," Galliot said.

Veterinarians and local residents are divided over what may have provoked the feline fury. According to some observers, a recent heat wave in the area may have played a part in the unusual mauling.

Veterinary specialist Valerie Dramard believes the cats were protecting their territory from the poodle, and the woman simply got in the way.

"Cats are not new zombies of the apocalypse," Dramard said reassuringly. "They are just very territorial and unfriendly with unknown species."

It's thought the attack may be related to the high summer temperatures perhaps making the cats more aggressive than usual.

Six cats working together is more hard to understand, could be that something in the area was deemed worth protecting (food source?) and the cats decided the dog was small enough to be worth taking on. It's a HELLUVA lot easier dealing with a dog the size of a cat than to deal with an enraged cat, let alone six! I still have scars from enraged cats back from my vet tech days, none from a dog.

Cats are a mystery sometimes. Domesticated my ass ;)

According to an exhibit about pets at a museum, cats are the only type of pet who would survive being abandoned - I should have told this to an acquaintence who "freed" her dwarf rabbit in a park. *massive eyeroll*
