I prefer to pretend the cat is a baseball bat. The tail is the handle, the head is the sweet spot, and any convenient wall is the baseball.
Here’s the pitch! He swings! It’s out of here!!
Jackson Galaxy from “My Cat From Hell”. Very interesting show and he knows his cats.
Yikes.....tell me that isn’t the cat.
what about a CATapult? You put said cat into it, and launch, then everyone draws with .45 colt and tries to hit it?
Most cats I don’t mind, but after my experiences I won’t own any anymore. I’ll just stick with dogs, and by dogs I mean real ones, not little rats :P
I’ve got a S&W 617 10 shot 22 LR revolver for things like that cat. Put some Aguila primer-only rounds in it and it’s quiet as a silenced 22, still deadly at close range.
Not true. A mean cat with claws will run at you, jump into your face, and claw and bite the hell out of you. Four feet with razor claws flying and sharp teeth is nothing to mess with. I would go for my gun rather than kick an ornery mad cat.
That's all I have to say about that.
In Soviet Oregon, cat cage you!
That might be true if you actually cared what happened to the cat. However, if a heavyweight like that had already taken a chunk of out my infant, as this one had done, he wouldn’t reach my face before running into a strong backhand. I wouldn’t be taking a solely defensive posture, and would be actively trying to defeat the animal.
Do not try to physically do battle with a mad cat. You extend an arm and he will latch on to it and you will not get him off of you. Even a dog knows better than to deal with a humped cat that has turned and faced off with the dog. That cat was the size of bobcat.
Quadcopter comes to mind.

Go, Go, Catzilla!
PPPPFFFFTTTTT!!!
