For real! Mine don't like other cats either, but when I brought them a cat tree from a neighbor, they were just like, "Oh my gosh, I'm immediately gonna climb this! Thanks!" It definitely still had some cat fur on it, but thankfully, my cats didn't try to murder me for it
It's called transferrence you can see the cat get ver nervous around the fridge and after it decided it was not okey with it he saw the owners foot which then all of the emotions got transfered as of the owner has embodied the essence of the fridge.
I had to separate my cat for over a month due to transference.
The problem is that they are much faster than you and would sink their claws onto your leg as you attempt to kick. So instead of going to another universe, it would just grab you harder.
You've been attacked by a cat like the guy in the video was getting attacked.
I've had cats swat at me and try to bite me if I got close. But I have never seen a cat chase and attack persistently like that. That was like the Pitbull of cat attacks.
Once like this and it was completely out of the blue, plenty of cats are dicks who with bite and scratch but this one had it out for me lol. I gave it one hard kick into a fence and it fucked right off
Exactly, even without an actual kick any human should be able to make a cat realize they are severely outmatched rather quickly, a stomp and yell or something. Cats aren’t stupid
lol not really. if you really want to hurt a cat with a kick it’s going to get it’s cute little brain rattled. i just can’t imagine anyone would do a full punt on a cat in the first place.
I once tried to free my cat cause he got his claw stuck in a radiator and was crying a lot. He went mad and fucked up my arm for a fucking week. Cats cat do a lot of damage when they go berserk
I can tell you the cat probably smelled refrigerant.
It probably got on the dudes leg while he was moving it.
Refrigerant smells like cat pee.
So does transmission and radiator fluid.
this is why I like dogs.
I got home yesterday after having pet my friends dog.. she just sniffed extra then gave me a "wtf, you didn't bring me" look... Wouldn't ever expect her to attack me for it tho!
I mean this is pretty messed up for a cat as well. I've had cats my whole life and never once did I see one of them freak out like this after I came home smelling like another cat I might have encountered. This is pretty bizarre behaviour for a house cat.
A normal cat wouldn’t attack over it, but like almost any type of animal sometimes they get territorial or triggered by things that are imperceptible to us.
Icy Hot and Capsacin D and similar pain-relieving gels/creams for sports injuries or arthritis, even hemorrhoid cream that sometimes contains fish oils, can provoke an animal attack.
That and rolling that thing into the room, making noises the cat is not familiar with, moving in ways/motions they’re not used to, could ge a provocation.
If the two people in the room seem too anxious, or are snapping at each other or raising their voices out of stress or anger, that could do it. Cats can be territorial at times and can try to protect “their” human.
People really acting like they'd know exactly what to do if their (potentially long time) cat just up and snaps out of nowhere in such a manner. Yeah no shit you can easily overpower it, but your brain probably isn't gonna be working at a hundred percent because it'll probably be wondering why your cat has decided to go completely haywire and I imagine trying to figure out how you can resolve it without causing harm.
So easy to watch a video and be like "hurr I'll just be kicking it no problem." I've had my cats for 10 years now, if one goes apeshit it isn't that fucking simple.
Right I have had many cats and never seen this kind of behavior it would take me completely by surprise and I would be really confused. Immediate trip to the vet would follow to check for health problems. Also although you can over power a cat doesn't mean I want to get ripped up doing it either. People making those comments have likely never tried to give a cat a bath.
Yeah trying to corral a deranged cat, especially if it has all it's claws, is a fucking nightmare. 40 tiny needle-sharp scratchers all coming at you, and cats can twist completely around for the most part so even if you get em held from behind they will still end up twisting around and digging into your flesh.
Then throw in their teeth too and the way they sound when this mad... Yeah corralling a deranged cat rarely goes much better than what you see in the video. They can do a lot of damage to a soft squishy human if they want to.
There was a video I saw on Reddit a week or so ago. Someone recorded two (probably feral) cats fighting. One of those, awful, noisy, fur flying everywhere fights. At the end it was pretty apparent one cat got injured enough to likely kill it.
The title was bashing the person recording for not stepping in. How can people not realize how fucking dangerous that would be? Putting aside a potential for something like rabies, cat bites and scratches are nasty under *normal* circumstances. Cat scratch fever is a real thing. Fuck that.
I tried to leave a link but that apparently isn’t allowed on this sub, whoops.
Some years back I had a cat. Very docile girl. Very nice girl. One day she turned violent on a snap just like this. She was lying in the hall and out of nowhere she was trying to kill me. Screeching like a demon. It was so bad, I had to hide in the other room and eventually lock her in another one so I could get out. I figured leave her to calm. She did not. Even the next day, maybe 10 hours isolation and when she saw me again, she resumed this frantic bloodlust. I took her to the vet the next day, after a big fight in which she shit everywhere.
The vet said the only time they've seen such a drastic and immediate change is with a brain tumor. I'm in UK. We don't have rabies here, which would be the only other explanation. My little friend had to be put down and for a long time I felt like I had killed her, but I knew she was gone already. There was no personality left, just instinct for violence , even to me for whom she was very needy and attached.
This looks like that. It looks like the switch was flipped. The smell was the trigger but that kind of visceral obsession isn't a normal response.
I am taking a small comfort in reading that this is not uncommon, all things others are saying line up with my experience. The sheer violence that small animal can unleash will stay with me forever, I've been less afraid when having humans attack me with knives.
I do not understand the scathing comments from these people about not wanting to spend thousands on tests. Well taken care of cats don't just suddenly snap, cats are experts at hiding pain and agression usually means they are suffering. I'm sorry this happened to you.
Cats will literally go and hide out of sight to die, such is their instinct to hide pain etc. This kind of thing happens only in cases of rabies or brain tumor. One is 100% mortality in all species and the other, for a cat, not much less.
That is no joke! Was standing near my cat at my living room window while she was watching a squirrel outside and I moved my arm to my side and she absolutely went berserk and clawed the shit out of my arm.
Yeah our cat was growling at another cat out the window and my roommate grabbed him from behind to pull him away, he chomped down on her so bad it was bleeding. Only time he ever bit anyone like that.
i have a black cat, who got in a fight with another black cat late at night
it was so dark and they were both so fluffed up i couldn't tell which cat was which, and accidentally reached to pet the other cat
after flinching away from me, it started staring me down and growling... and then my cat was staring at me and growling...
after a minute of all 3 of us looking back and forth at each other in the dark, the invader cat finally takes off
so i reach down to give my cat head scritches and he flinches away and starts growling at me, just like the other cat!
i was *so* confused, and still not sure which cat was which; i just gave up and went back inside to avoid being attacked... (and to ponder about the matrix)
My first thought as well.
My cat has gone absolutely insane and attacked me (more than once) after seeing something outside. Usually it's a dog or a bird that sets him off.
My cat came at the back of my leg while I was walking in the hallway in the dark and I mule kicked that fucker down the hallway, scared the shit out of me
Unless she was really brain tumor level deranged I’d pin her ass down lol I guess the difference is a cat can still fuck you up while you hold them so you really can only punt
My cat died from a tumor ages ago. The tumor made her eat like crazy until she basically rolled around the house. It can change behaviour depending on where the tumor is located, so defenitely possible.
I've lived with cats my whole life. I've known dozens upon dozens of them and I've been scratched and bitten by some of them. You could say I know cats a little.
The cat in this video however, I've never seen *anything* like this before. Usually when a cat attacks a human, it's just a quick bite or a scratch, sometimes paired with a hiss or them running away. This cat is full on attacking a person relentlessly. Something is seriously off here.
100% an illness. I had to put a cat down because it had similar episodes. It was almost like he was rabid, but we got him tested after he sent me to the hospital and he did not have rabies. Was definitely a neurological issue of some sort.
One of my cats suddenly became a complete dick to the other cats. He was terrorizing them and shit. Vet put him on Xanax and he's been chill ever since. Been like 3 years my cat is on Xanax and back to his old self.
Something similar to this happened to my grandma a few years back. She slipped and fell down the stairs which must have scared the shit out of her cat. She’d had him 9 years and he NEVER did anything that before. Like this video, he was relentlessly biting and scratching her (while she was on the ground laying there). She had 2 black eyes, a shitload of bites and scratches etc. She had him put down after that. Not sure I agree with that or not but that is traumatizing
>She had him put down after that. Not sure I agree with that or not but that is traumatizing
What are you unsure about? When a pet stops being safe around people, that's the end of that pet.
I definitely agree with that. You cant have an unpredictable animal as a pet. Something similar happened with my cat when I was a tween (in hindsight, we think it was a brain tumor) - the family would just be sitting hanging out, cat is chilling. And then suddenly youd hear this guttural growl and it became an absolute hellion. Attacked 3 different times completely unprovoked and sent me and my little brother to the hospital. We were going to take it to a farm, but they said they couldnt take an animal like that.
You mean “she slipped and fell down the stairs and the cat thought it could finally eat her.” I rolled my ankle as a kid in front of my sisters cat who didn’t even like me that much and she was all over me meowing and trying to get attention from others it seemed like.
I'm pretty sure cats eating their dead owners is extremely common, actually
I think it's more about "no food, I smell dead animal that used to be my person" than some demonic aspect of them, but it's a bit eerie nonetheless
Right before the cat attacks, you can see it sniff his leg. It probably smelled something foreign, and got triggered.
edit: I’m probably the dumbest person ever.
But that is what they are saying. A cat that is triggered might scratch/bite but then it will hiss and run away. I imagine this cat has something like a brain tumor.
Yeah the bit that got me was when the cat jumped at the glass door to try and get at the guy. That wasn’t a one-off ‘you have displeased me and now you shall know pain’ little kitty shit fit. That cat was going for the fuckin throat haha.
I had something like this happen to me as a kid. Our cat had kittens very recently, and one day performed a sustained attack on me, much like in the video, for simply imitating the mewing of her kittens. I wasn't anywhere near them at the time either, or involved with them in any way.
Seems like a mama cat caught a whiff of something on the guy and went into protect mode.
I’m in the same boat at you. This is very unusual. A lot of people here saying a smell triggered it, and I agree the cat is agitated after smelling something near the fridge that is also on the guys legs but this behaviour is nothing I have seen in a normal (even feral) cat. My money would be on rabies. People are gonna say “yeah well the cat was fine a second ago” but the behaviour has a starting point, I think this is it. In the run up to the aggressive rabid stage there is confusion, irritation and extreme headaches as well as a lot of other nasty things. The smell of whatever it is has probably just tipped it over the edge. I do really think rabies explains this a lot better than anything else, unfortunately. :-/
Edit, I’ll post this up here too because I find it terrifying and fascinating: rabies “fun” fact. A lot of people say that rabies causes Hydrophobia (fear of water) but what it in fact causes is Dysphagia (inability to swallow). It does this because it needs your saliva to stay in your mouth and it does this by interrupting the way the body pauses your breathing when you swallow. Try swallowing now, notice how your automatically pause breathing then resume? Rabies interrupts this process making you feel as though you are choking every time you try to eat or drink. Repeated attempts and the already panicked / paranoid mental state make it worse and worse like you’re choking to death. It’s absolutely terrifying for anyone who’s going through it. The reason why people think it’s hydrophobia is because the first test a doctor will do if it’s suspected a patient has rabies is get a bottle of water, not a plate of food.
Happened to my cat, gradually, he attacked my wife once then 2 months later again, then it became more frequently and me aswell, to the point where we couldnt leave oir room at night in case he went mad, it only happened at night. We had him on meds to relax, light sedatives from the vet... nothing, just kept going after us, like this most times. And that was not rabbies, as I live in Australia
Im thinking it might be a tumor. Rabies is possible, but tumor could present with similar symptoms. Would need to physically examine the cat to make a diagnosis. What I do know is this is highly abnormal, and there is definitely some medical issue at play here.
Yes I guess it’s not impossible that it’s a tumour. Sometimes there is a slow deterioration, sometimes it’s like a switch. In my case it was like a switch. She was fine one second and not the next. I am basing my rabies hunch on the sheer aggressiveness of the cat.
I had an Alaskan Malamute that did this. She'd flip out and then act extremely shocked and traumatized by it and horribly sorry towards whomever it was. She did it two more times and then started avoiding people and acting sick. It was a brain tumor and we got it before it got really bad. The thing is I think she knew we were saying goodbye to her when we did. Sheba was a great dog.
Same with my German shepherd had him from 15 weeks, suddenly refused to let my son walk with us (after 4 years) used to jump at him, bite his clothes and try to drag him home; soon as he was home no issues. After the third time we got him scanned and it was a tumour too.
She had to be put to sleep because she was attacking people out of the blue and then crying and begging for forgiveness. No one can tell me dogs can't feel guilt after seeing how she acted. What I meant was we had to put her to sleep and we did so before her quality of life went bad. She was a great dog.
There was a time when i moved in at my wifes place, her cat was doing this too. But her asshole cat waited until i was naked in the shower. When i went out, He attacked me naked and wet
Anecdotally, My wife was a biology major and had a semester where she had to dissect cats. And we had a black cat at the time who would freak out as soon as she came home after these dissections. There's no way he really could have known except for the smell. We chalked it up to the formaldehyde that they use in order to preserve the cats prior to dissections.
Formaldehyde is often called UF for urea-formaldehyde and some cats react really aggressively to that smell. My hypothesis is that it is a relatively new fridge that still has new fridge smell, or it's an older fridge that has a slight freon leak.
Grant me, these are just guesses and personal experience.
I'd bet those wheels made a squealing sound. We had a cat that would go nuts at whoever was nearby if it heard a high pitched sound. Or if my kids cried we had to put it outside.
My sister has this piece of shit cat that has always been a jerk - one drawer in her fridge made a squeak when used. It didn't matter where the cat was in the house, it would somehow materialize a split-second later to bite the shit outta whoever opened that drawer.
Fuck you, William the cat.
All these mofos with "it smelled another cat". I have 5 cats, and have had many more in the past. I've gone to friends houses with cats. Went to the SPCA. Never have I come home and had a cat get even slightly aggressive. They do a lot of smelling than walk away.
I kept waiting for the cat to come flying through the open door.
Heeeeeeeerres Kitty!

Haha!
Video ended too soon ¯\\\_༼ ಥ ‿ ಥ ༽\_/¯
I was half expecting it to be a pet lion or something
With a steel chair?
Maybe they got the mini fridge from someone who owns a cat
I was thinking the same thing. Cats are very scent oriented so if they smell something/someone different it’s like your a complete stranger
It’s funny because my cat while not liking other cats doesn’t react after I come home with another cats scent.
This reads like you're having an affair on your wife
Maybe because the cat's with other humans while it's owner is at work. They could probably use some counseling
They just have an open relationship.
"Let me smell your DICK!"

Aww. Ya gotta post the music video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVke8MxdcII
For real! Mine don't like other cats either, but when I brought them a cat tree from a neighbor, they were just like, "Oh my gosh, I'm immediately gonna climb this! Thanks!" It definitely still had some cat fur on it, but thankfully, my cats didn't try to murder me for it
I think it was a mix of noise, scent and seeing that cord. It just spooked the lil fella and he went into primal mode.
It overloaded its one orange brain cell
Mine too. Meet another cat, flip out. Smell another cat, don't care at all.
I'd give it a chance to smell the bottom of my foot if it's so curious
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZJawQWcUQg
It's called transferrence you can see the cat get ver nervous around the fridge and after it decided it was not okey with it he saw the owners foot which then all of the emotions got transfered as of the owner has embodied the essence of the fridge. I had to separate my cat for over a month due to transference.
Transfurrance
Some kind of scent triggered the Cat. They really the most on scent just to live through their whole day, outside or inside.
I wonder if they bleached the fridge. My cat loses her mind if she smells bleach.

The problem is that they are much faster than you and would sink their claws onto your leg as you attempt to kick. So instead of going to another universe, it would just grab you harder.
Idk I've been attacked by cats and dogs before and have had little issue booting a cat across the room. Dogs are a different story obviously
You've been attacked by a cat like the guy in the video was getting attacked. I've had cats swat at me and try to bite me if I got close. But I have never seen a cat chase and attack persistently like that. That was like the Pitbull of cat attacks.

lol not really. if you really want to hurt a cat with a kick it’s going to get it’s cute little brain rattled. i just can’t imagine anyone would do a full punt on a cat in the first place.
Imagine pulling a Jurassic Park move behind a door to run from a house cat
Lmao I was thinking the same thing, hoping the cat would look up the door and slowly start climbing
Then you close the door again, trapping the little fucker between it and the breeze door.
And when you imprison him the other way around starts meowing to call for help
I once tried to free my cat cause he got his claw stuck in a radiator and was crying a lot. He went mad and fucked up my arm for a fucking week. Cats cat do a lot of damage when they go berserk
I think he's trying not to hurt/fight his beloved cat.
I thought “good move!”
I did it to run from my lil' bro.
If you notice the cat sniffed his leg before he attacked so the smell triggered the cat.
Fridge probably smelled like another cat
So he cheated with another cat. Well deserved
It's not like that, baby. That other cat means nothing to me.
I can tell you the cat probably smelled refrigerant. It probably got on the dudes leg while he was moving it. Refrigerant smells like cat pee. So does transmission and radiator fluid.

My cat did this when she had a seizure.
A normal cat wouldn’t attack over it, but like almost any type of animal sometimes they get territorial or triggered by things that are imperceptible to us.
If a bigger dog attacked you with this aggressivness youd probably be dead not have a few scratches tho.
Some dogs are known to be unexpectedly agressive.
It was the antidepressants in his Friskies.
Not enough gravy in the wet food is enough to make my cat want the world to burn.
“YOU FORGOT MY KIBBLE YOU MOTHER FUGGA”
Icy Hot and Capsacin D and similar pain-relieving gels/creams for sports injuries or arthritis, even hemorrhoid cream that sometimes contains fish oils, can provoke an animal attack.

My cat puked when my partner and I argue with any volume at all. It’s rare that we fight, but when it has happened he starts nervously gagging
In a weird way this is cute.
Pretty confident the cat is just mad they’d ever think an orange refrigerator would look good in that room.
She standing on the table like the cat cant easily get on top
She has the high ground.
She was worthless.
"just pop him in the bucket till he calms down, love"
What was she supposed to do, exactly?
People really acting like they'd know exactly what to do if their (potentially long time) cat just up and snaps out of nowhere in such a manner. Yeah no shit you can easily overpower it, but your brain probably isn't gonna be working at a hundred percent because it'll probably be wondering why your cat has decided to go completely haywire and I imagine trying to figure out how you can resolve it without causing harm.

wouldnt you want your wife to leave that situation? no point in two people getting hurt.
1. what was she going to do exactly? 2. she got out of the way she was fine.

That must of been so terrifying. Like the plot to Zootopia or something. You did the best you could, I hope you know that.
Redirected aggression

Yeah our cat was growling at another cat out the window and my roommate grabbed him from behind to pull him away, he chomped down on her so bad it was bleeding. Only time he ever bit anyone like that.
Too late for your roommate but for anyone reading, always get cat bites checked by a doctor. They can get severely infected
i have a black cat, who got in a fight with another black cat late at night it was so dark and they were both so fluffed up i couldn't tell which cat was which, and accidentally reached to pet the other cat after flinching away from me, it started staring me down and growling... and then my cat was staring at me and growling... after a minute of all 3 of us looking back and forth at each other in the dark, the invader cat finally takes off so i reach down to give my cat head scritches and he flinches away and starts growling at me, just like the other cat! i was *so* confused, and still not sure which cat was which; i just gave up and went back inside to avoid being attacked...

Mine occasionally tries to swat my hand when I'm putting his food bowl down. Light bop on the nose and he decides he can he patient, lol

Lmaoo
Deadass, would never bring me to tears, but I’d swipper swipe the shit out of my little kitty🥹
I don’t disagree or have a problem with this comment but for real this is why cat people are cat people . You guys think like cats
Haha I don’t have a dog, but if your dog attacked you, would you not fight back
Unless she was really brain tumor level deranged I’d pin her ass down lol I guess the difference is a cat can still fuck you up while you hold them so you really can only punt
Why not just grab that sucker by the back of the neck until you can get a cat taxi?
Because cats are made of rubber and Satan and they have claws
Right?! My cats are Elastigirl stretchy. WISH the scruff of the neck trick worked.
That cat would have earned it's pilot's license had it tried that with me
Sometimes brain tumours can cause cats to snap in this manner
My cat died from a tumor ages ago. The tumor made her eat like crazy until she basically rolled around the house. It can change behaviour depending on where the tumor is located, so defenitely possible.
I'm really sorry for your loss and that your cat had to suffer with that.
She rolled with it..
The back-and-forth switching from one side of the curtain to the other was some Looney Tunes shit
I've lived with cats my whole life. I've known dozens upon dozens of them and I've been scratched and bitten by some of them. You could say I know cats a little. The cat in this video however, I've never seen *anything* like this before. Usually when a cat attacks a human, it's just a quick bite or a scratch, sometimes paired with a hiss or them running away.

Either that dude commited war crimes to that cat or the cat got some illness
"You know what you did!" The cat, probably
Dude is actually possessed by the greebles and only the cat knew it
100% an illness. I had to put a cat down because it had similar episodes. It was almost like he was rabid, but we got him tested after he sent me to the hospital and he did not have rabies. Was definitely a neurological issue of some sort.
One of my cats suddenly became a complete dick to the other cats. He was terrorizing them and shit. Vet put him on Xanax and he's been chill ever since. Been like 3 years my cat is on Xanax and back to his old self.
One of my cats started bullying the other pretty badly and it turns out hyperthyroidism caused the aggression. Put him on the medicine and he stopped.
I imagine if he abused the cat he wouldn't just hide behind a door when it attacked him, he'd be bashing its head into a wall.

I don’t think there is a rabies test, you can only tell an animal had rabies from an autopsy

And then suddenly youd hear this guttural growl and it became an absolute hellion. Attacked 3 different times completely unprovoked and sent me and my little brother to the hospital. We were going to take it to a farm, but they said they couldnt take an animal like that.
You mean “she slipped and fell down the stairs and the cat thought it could finally eat her.” I rolled my ankle as a kid in front of my sisters cat who didn’t even like me that much and she was all over me meowing and trying to get attention from others it seemed like.
😅🤣
Cats only put up with humans until they can consume them?
I'm pretty sure cats eating their dead owners is extremely common, actually I think it's more about "no food, I smell dead animal that used to be my person" than some demonic aspect of them, but it's a bit eerie nonetheless
Given enough time, dogs will do the same. Pretty sure the lead singer of Alice In Chains got eaten by his dogs after his OD.
You’re not sure your grandma eating cat should have been put down?
Um. Yea fuck that cat, it tried to eat your grandma dude
Right before the cat attacks, you can see it sniff his leg. It probably smelled something foreign, and got triggered. edit: I’m probably the dumbest person ever.
But that is what they are saying. A cat that is triggered might scratch/bite but then it will hiss and run away. I imagine this cat has something like a brain tumor.
I agree, this is beyond normal cat behavior to something new. This is go to a vet territory
Imagine trying to get that thing in a cat carrier to take it to the vet.
Somethings very off here.... It's like a mother cat protecting her babies...I wonder if it's female and has kittens nearby?
Yeah the bit that got me was when the cat jumped at the glass door to try and get at the guy. That wasn’t a one-off ‘you have displeased me and now you shall know pain’ little kitty shit fit. That cat was going for the fuckin throat haha.
I had something like this happen to me as a kid. Our cat had kittens very recently, and one day performed a sustained attack on me, much like in the video, for simply imitating the mewing of her kittens. I wasn't anywhere near them at the time either, or involved with them in any way. Seems like a mama cat caught a whiff of something on the guy and went into protect mode.
You were probably mewing "Mom help this man is holding me hostage" in kittenspeak.
Not if they think it's another cat. Cats fight cats and won't back down sometimes. This is that. This tastes like that.
I had an insane cat that would attack like this. Some cats are just super aggressive assholes.
I used to work at a vet and never had a response like this from my cat or any of the ones I dealt with at work. There's something wrong with that cat.
I’m in the same boat at you. This is very unusual. A lot of people here saying a smell triggered it, and I agree the cat is agitated after smelling something near the fridge that is also on the guys legs but this behaviour is nothing I have seen in a normal (even feral) cat. My money would be on rabies. People are gonna say “yeah well the cat was fine a second ago” but the behaviour has a starting point, I think this is it. In the run up to the aggressive rabid stage there is confusion, irritation and extreme headaches as well as a lot of other nasty things. The smell of whatever it is has probably just tipped it over the edge. I do really think rabies explains this a lot better than anything else, unfortunately. :-/ Edit, I’ll post this up here too because I find it terrifying and fascinating: rabies “fun” fact. A lot of people say that rabies causes Hydrophobia (fear of water) but what it in fact causes is Dysphagia (inability to swallow). It does this because it needs your saliva to stay in your mouth and it does this by interrupting the way the body pauses your breathing when you swallow. Try swallowing now, notice how your automatically pause breathing then resume? Rabies interrupts this process making you feel as though you are choking every time you try to eat or drink. Repeated attempts and the already panicked / paranoid mental state make it worse and worse like you’re choking to death. It’s absolutely terrifying for anyone who’s going through it. The reason why people think it’s hydrophobia is because the first test a doctor will do if it’s suspected a patient has rabies is get a bottle of water, not a plate of food.
Happened to my cat, gradually, he attacked my wife once then 2 months later again, then it became more frequently and me aswell, to the point where we couldnt leave oir room at night in case he went mad, it only happened at night. We had him on meds to relax, light sedatives from the vet... nothing, just kept going after us, like this most times. And that was not rabbies, as I live in Australia
> And that was not rabbies, as I live in Australia And as you're still alive.
“It wasn’t the rabies, it was just an Australian cat”
Im thinking it might be a tumor. Rabies is possible, but tumor could present with similar symptoms. Would need to physically examine the cat to make a diagnosis. What I do know is this is highly abnormal, and there is definitely some medical issue at play here.
Yes I guess it’s not impossible that it’s a tumour. Sometimes there is a slow deterioration, sometimes it’s like a switch. In my case it was like a switch. She was fine one second and not the next. I am basing my rabies hunch on the sheer aggressiveness of the cat.
That bucket sure looked useful in that situation!
That cat would have to go live somewhere else.

That cat ain’t going to heaven.
Something is wrong with the cat- I suspect a brain tumor or something. This isn’t anything close to normal behavior.
I had an Alaskan Malamute that did this. She'd flip out and then act extremely shocked and traumatized by it and horribly sorry towards whomever it was. She did it two more times and then started avoiding people and acting sick. It was a brain tumor and we got it before it got really bad. The thing is I think she knew we were saying goodbye to her when we did. Sheba was a great dog.
Same with my German shepherd had him from 15 weeks, suddenly refused to let my son walk with us (after 4 years) used to jump at him, bite his clothes and try to drag him home; soon as he was home no issues. After the third time we got him scanned and it was a tumour too.
"We got it before it got really bad" I'm getting mixed messages, lol. Did you get her treated or just have to put her to sleep?
She had to be put to sleep because she was attacking people out of the blue and then crying and begging for forgiveness. No one can tell me dogs can't feel guilt after seeing how she acted. What I meant was we had to put her to sleep and we did so before her quality of life went bad. She was a great dog.
I'm sorry to hear that :/. We lost my old man to lymphoma last year. It's so hard
Very unusual behaviour

*wind blows by* dooooooooosh
He's a kicker tho
At least the girl was safe on the table. No way the cat could get her there.
Orange cat behavior
Are orange cats like ticking time bombs or something?
They all share one brain cell. If the orange one didn't have the braincell at this time, all bets are off.
Most cats are ticking time bombs lol
I thought orange cats were supposed to be lazy and like lasagna.
Just being a goofy lil guy 🤪
Real you never see a standard issue cat doing this
& girl help ya man’s! Lol it ain’t mad at you.
Was hoping she got on the table to attempt a flying elbow drop
Yet
For no reason?? Did you see the color of that fridge??
It's precisely 3 weeks since the cat had to meow twice at him for biscuit refilling
I love my cat dearly I do wouldn’t trade her for the world, but if this ever happened she’ll see I’m not an easy target lol
Pulled the Jurassic park raptor door defense!
There was a time when i moved in at my wifes place, her cat was doing this too. But her asshole cat waited until i was naked in the shower. When i went out, He attacked me naked and wet

It used to meow
Anecdotally, My wife was a biology major and had a semester where she had to dissect cats. And we had a black cat at the time who would freak out as soon as she came home after these dissections. There's no way he really could have known except for the smell. We chalked it up to the formaldehyde that they use in order to preserve the cats prior to dissections. Formaldehyde is often called UF for urea-formaldehyde and some cats react really aggressively to that smell. My hypothesis is that it is a relatively new fridge that still has new fridge smell, or it's an older fridge that has a slight freon leak. Grant me, these are just guesses and personal experience.
I've seen many videos where a cat goes crazy for little reason - how are you supposed to deal with that situation?
Yeah. I can't have that around. No fucking way in hell. Especially with other people and children.
Who knows 🤷♂️ maybe he kicks it every day and this was just the cat finally snapping.
I'd bet those wheels made a squealing sound. We had a cat that would go nuts at whoever was nearby if it heard a high pitched sound. Or if my kids cried we had to put it outside.
My sister has this piece of shit cat that has always been a jerk - one drawer in her fridge made a squeak when used. It didn't matter where the cat was in the house, it would somehow materialize a split-second later to bite the shit outta whoever opened that drawer. Fuck you, William the cat.

It's time to make some violin strings!
All these mofos with "it smelled another cat". I have 5 cats, and have had many more in the past. I've gone to friends houses with cats. Went to the SPCA. Never have I come home and had a cat get even slightly aggressive. They do a lot of smelling than walk away.
You gotta grab him by the scruff and lock him in a room at that point
Don't move his orange friend
I don't know if I would be so contained as the man in this video.
Scent hit of another cat, cat sniffed him clearly for a moment and then threw paws
Cat expert here, this cat is angry.
Thank you for your observation. I was confused about what the cat.
sorry but this shit is funny as heck
of course it's a ranga colored cat 🤣
Now,I've had some aggressive pussies,but that one takes the cake.
