She IS getting pretty senile. Any cat that will fall off a monitor 87 times a day and then jump right back up there and look at you like its your fault...
Just get the kids out of the way.
Cats gone Crazy are scary. I remember a neighbor girl who was trying to get their cat out from under a bed, and came out from under the bed screeching and the cat latched on her head. I think her dad killed the cat, but I ran home, freaked, because we had only had dogs.
Geese are mean as hell too. Damn geese mumble mumble
No kidding. One morning I was driving along, minding my own business, and came across a goose standing in the middle of my lane. That goose was not about move. He just looked right at me, stood his ground, and honked at me.
And once in the woods, I had a wild turkey come after me. I have to assume she had a nest nearby. That bird made sure I left the area, and I wasn't about to argue.
I wouldn't mess with any big bird!
