Pet Cat Suddenly Thinks Scott Is Lunch


All those years of at least tolerating the feline. Just like that, the cat changes on a dime.

I think even the biggest cat lover would have to admit that if they were suddenly mouse-sized, their beloved pet would regard them as a tasty morsel.

You're right. Scott did not seem too disappointed. Apparently, his wife liked the cat more than he. Never hurts to be nice!

reply

Not true. A cat who has been taken care of by the owner, will not turn on the owner shrunk down to a few inches tall. The cat may think it's a mouse or something, and might be curious enough to think him lunch. But, once they notice the scent on the man, they revert to affection (and even protection).

Not true.I loved my cat like there was no tomorrow but he still attacked me the odd time.RIP Mr Cat.

It all depends on how well you take care of the cat, and how independent it is. If the cat is well cared for, it will look after you, provided someone else could help him/her out with this strange circumstance.

reply

If your cat really attacked you - seriously, without provocation and with an intention to hurt - then it must have had rabies or been mistreated somehow. Can't see such a thing happen otherwise; even the generally hostile, aggressive cats usually don't attack their owner.

A car will snack on their dead owner.
Cats have no loyalty as soon as you stop feeding them so of course the car would eat their owner if mouse sized.
