That is a sad story and scary too. I’m a cat person, but if I were to adopt a dog some breeds I would not consider, especially if they are adults.
When was the last time you read about someone being killed by their pet cat? (Not that your cat wouldn't LIKE to kill you from time to time. Cats just don't have the ability)
I’m sure you’ve read all the news reports recently how your cat wants nothing more than to kill and devour you. Don’t turn your back on them!
