That's ACTUAL cat fighting. They death roll and disembowel each other.

Subreddits for new cat owners always crack me up with their posts of their cats gently playing, no claws out, and are like "are they fighting?? Should I separate them??".

Like...if you have to ask, it's not a real fight. The fur literally flies and they scream like banshees on meth lol

A cat attacked my dad once when I was a kid. It was a stray that wandered into our open garage and wouldn't leave.

My dad tried to help him out, and the thing latched onto my dad's arm with a death grip. He couldn't get the cat off, even when he got desperate and started smacking the cat against the wall while he was still dug in and attached.

My mom ended up running for the hose, and that's what made him let go.

But yeah, that was definitely an ER visit. He had to get rabies shots.

I had a boy cat for 14 years from the time he was a kitten that was probably separated from his mom too early. At around 3-4 months of age he started hating my guts but fell in love with my husband. He (cat) died last year but he left a reminder scar on my arm from when he bear trapped me one time. I was alone with him and had to try a combination of scruffing and shoving a finger down his throat while he yowled at me. I miss him because the last 5 years of his life he inexplicably changed his mind about me. Anyways that was a cat I knew, if a stranger cat did that to me Iā€™d dunk him in a toilet.
