Oh seriously, when was the last time a cat attacked and bit somebody?
Last year. Before I had the cattery built I had my kitten on a leash in the front yard. One of the 'kennel cat' escapees viciously attacked him on my own property without any provocation whatsoever. He severely bit and scratched me when I was trying to separate them, and I had to be treated in the urgent-care as well as pay for a vet visit for the kitten to be cleaned up and checked out. The instigator himself had a 10-day stay in the pound while they quarantined him for rabies, and his owner had to pay $300 to get him out of jail. Do you know that was not the end of seeing that bastard in the neighborhood? All because an animal boarding facility owner with an IQ of a dried corn kernel kept stubbornly expressing her belief 'nobody can keep cats inside.' That dumbass has been staring at my cat enclosure every day for the last year while still saying the same fucking thing. The cattery cost me almost $2k to build, and her effing kennel and associated problems was the main reason I built it; to protect my OWN cats on my OWN property.
There are also dozens of cats in my neighborhood not associated with the kennel that have caused/still cause problems on my property, and an out-of-control neighbor's dog that attacked and killed a previous cat of mine on my property because the owner was a douchecanoe in denial like the bitch above who would not take responsibility.
So yes, it's really happening, and it's more than just an annoying little poop pile from time to time.
I think the only time I have felt really threatened by an animal on my property was a feral tom cat that literally chased me out of the barn, and one of the roosters we had.... Although there was a white tail buck that gave me quite an attitude during rut two years ago.
The biggest concerns I've had for my dogs have been other dogs running loose. It was more of a problem when we first moved there.
Most recently we had a neighbour move in down the road that was not containing his dog (a smallish Australian herding dog). It came to visit. One of my dogs (a shepherd collie rescue that was quite odd and skittish) felt it was a threat to her happy home and wanted to tear into it. After the third visit in a week I grabbed it and tossed it in the truck to take it back home. I had to inform the owners that they needed to keep it home or it was going to get hurt. They just looked at me blankly and said something to the effect that, because they were now living in the country they didn't think it was a problem to let their dog run and get some exercise.
I informed them that we have neighbours that will shoot stray dogs that bother their livestock and since their dog was a herding dog........ They were mortified. Then I informed them that if their dog continued to come to my yard, and if it got into a fight with my dogs, I might well dispose of it also.
I haven't seen it since.
It is pathetic that people just don't GET IT!
