Cat ‘Baby’ Viciously Attacked 7 Pitbulls And Hospitalized Dog Walker

ADVERTISEMENT

Last Monday, a 16-year-old cat viciously attacked seven unsuspecting pit bulls as they were passing the cat’s yard together with their owners in Victoria, Canada. Even though the cat named Baby has arthritis and problems walking, that didn’t stop her one bit from clutching her paws into one pit’s face and eyes as well as hurting the other pit’s owner Kyla Grover so bad she had to go to the hospital for treatment.

The 3-year-old pit Bandida grabbed the cat and held her down in order to defend herself but none of the remaining pits fought back. “I asked the owner, ‘Is your cat okay,’ and he said, ‘Yes, there’s not one scratch on the cat,'” said Bandida’s owner Javiera Rodriguez. “So that just shows you how aggressive my pit bull is,” she added. Thankfully, Bandida’s scratches weren’t too severe but, since the attack, she’s been less playful and stays by Rodriguez. Grover had to get a tetanus shot and antibiotics at a hospital though. The owners of the cat apologized the next day and covered Bandida’s $222 vet bill. “I don’t want anything to happen to the cat, I don’t want it to be put down, I don’t want a ban of cats, I don’t want what happens to our dogs to happen to them,” explained Rodriguez. “When dog owners have an aggressive dog they have to put a sign and the dog has to be on a leash at all times. I don’t understand why it’s not the same for cats.” (h/t)

When 16 y/o Baby saw 7 pit bulls passing by her yard, she ran straight towards them

Even though the cat has arthritis and problems walking, she injured 1 pit and a dog walker who tried to separate them

That's actually quite sad.. if the pitbulls dared to fight back, they would have been criticized for it.. instead, they took all the pain. I have a cat too, I love her to bits, but this, this is horrible and unacceptable.

When I was a child my Mom's Cat suddenly starting attacking Dog's for what we thought was no reason,we soon found out though that several Large Dog's chased the cat and tried killing him as the Dog's had killed other Neighbor's Cat's ,could be this Cat in the story was chased by Large Dog's herself or saw Dog's attack and Kil other Cat's ,and rather fall victim to the Dog's she is taking an aggressive stance against any large Dog's She see's,and that many Dogs in one group;p could be very intimidating to a Cat,her fight or flight could have been triggered which is a natural instinct in any animal when faced with the unknown.

Yes, when I read the article that was my first thought, that the cat had had an instinctive reaction to what she interpreted as a pack of dogs coming for her. They don't always understand leashes and fences. Also, the cat is 16. If she did this usually to anyone walking a dog, they would have kept her indoors, I'm guessing.

Not that I'm for putting down anyone, just not for putting down cats just because there are those who put down dogs.
