After he hits it though, you can see a definite change in it's posture and bearing, before it strikes at him.


Look at how the cat swishes it's tail in the beginning (flicking tip of the tail = not happy)...it had already let the kid know to leave it alone. Domesticated cats won't usually "attack" like that without giving some sort of warning first.

i don't quite know what you're getting at...

Poor cat! It got attacked, so it attacked back.

After watching it a few times, that cat's dots are definitely agitated already. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the kid was messing with the cat (poking or grabbing) before the vid started and the cat has already fought back somewhat at this point. Then the kid gets mad and takes a swipe at the cat, who by now is in no mood to take [censored] from junior anymore. Cat then opens the can of whoop(censored) an shows the kid why you don't f with animals...

The cat looks agitated already...my guess is the kid was pestering it, then the cat gave him a warning smack which made the kid cry. Retaliating against the cat was definitely a mistake!



Wow, guess it pays to read ahead before commenting... You beat me to it.

Pets can teach kids a lot!

this proves it: a 6 month old pitbull puppy is smarter than a 1 year old human. The day he walked into my house, he took one look at both cats and immediately realized this was a losing proposition. 6 years later, he's never had to taste claw.

A few friend's dogs who've come over haven't been so smart though, and learned a pretty similar lesson to that kid...

The problem there is that many pitbull owners arent smarter than their three-year old pitbulls, and so the training goes haywire and the dogs are menaces (both due to genetics and poor training).

And it gives them a bad name.

Hopefully this kid learned his lesson.

My cat is pretty playful and tolerant of dogs when friends bring them over. Sometimes, they do cross the line and learn a bit of a lesson.

My brother had a puppy that he brought over. His cat is old and very tolerant, so the puppy saw my cat and bolted straight to him, bowling him over. That little dog got a major beating before my brother rescued him.

My friend's dog knows how to behave around cats a little better. He only gets a taste of the claws when he pushes a little too much. When he behaves, they'll both sit together. The cat knows he means no harm, so treats him very gently, even when he is mildly annoyed.

Another friend has me sit their dog when she's away. That dog is timid to the point that the cat plays tricks on him, hiding around corners and jumping out at him, and other silliness like that.

My mom used to groom dogs on the side, so I have seen this before.

We used to have two really healthy, hearty toms that used to be outside cats. Those two would stalk customer dogs just for fun... Of course, they were used to dogs - and not just little ones either. We had everything from a Schnauzer, to Rottweilers (all show dogs). Customer dogs were mostly just 10-20lb mutts, the occasional Bichon and a Chow Chow, but no matter what, the cats were never intimidated.

With my friend's dog, he takes a lot of nonsense from him, and you can tell he's not too upset. If I do try to put the cat in another room, he's reaching under the door for the dog, and as soon as it gets dark, they're both running around like crazy.

When I was dogsitting, the dog was sleeping up in my bed, and I'm watching TV, and the cat is sitting on me. The dog gets up and shakes, and his tags rattle. The cat gets up, and I'm wondering why he's taking off, since he's not scared of the dog. He jumped on the other chair, and his back legs were just moving as he was crouched. The dog walked around the corner, and the cat sprang out at him. Well, the dog decided to go back to bed in a hurry.

that was a funny clip. sorry kid, don't abuse animals

That clip is interesting, if you notice, the cat attacks, but does not follow through (back legs raking as the front claws hold)
It's like the cat just wants to teach the brat a lesson.

Now, today, it is not socially acceptable for a for a parent to spontaneously react in a 'corrective' fashion like this.
But it seems animals know better.
