It’s curious isn’t it?
Whenever there is an attack involving a beloved family pet, the headline blazing across the headline always seems to involve a dog. I cannot ever remember seeing a headline proclaiming someone to have been mauled by their beloved family cat, bird or ferret. It seems that every time there is an attack, it’s always a dog, it’s never a cat or any other animal, or even a snake.
Yet there are people out there who want to claim that dogs are naturally well behaved animals, and the ones who turn on humans are those who were conditioned to act like that. Sorry, I don’t buy it, not when it’s just as easy to do that with a cat. The only difference is the cat will just hide and will only strike out at you if it feels threatened.
What’s more likely to maul your leg, your tabby sitting in the corner sulking or a Rottweiler? I vote for the latter because experience says that a cat will not attack you unless you forcefully invade its space. When a cat runs over to you, you know that it can’t hurt you the way a dog can. Then again, the only cats I’ve only seen run over to people are domestic cats, not the feral kind that keep to themselves.
And people wonder why we have laws to deal with dogs and not cats…
Stumble It!
