Dog and dog owner injured in Victoria after cat attacks seven pit bulls

In a case of canine/feline role reversal, seven pit bulls were set upon by an aggressive cat Monday night — sending a dog and an owner for medical treatment.

The cat sprang out of a Gordon Head yard, said Kyla Grover, who was with the walking group called Pit Bulls of Victoria B.C.

“The dogs were walking by, completely minding their own business,” she said. “The cat just goes at all of the dogs, not backing down.”

The pit bulls and pit bull crosses were leashed and none of them fought back, Grover said. They just began barking after the attack began.

that took no shit from anyone or any dog. That cat would be sitting on the porch steps and if he saw a dog across the street he'd rip after it not paying any attention to the cars on the road. I mean , he was laser focused on any dog that dared cross the front of our house. This mean ass would disappear for days and come back smelling of cat sex and decay , he'd stink so bad my mother would tie him up in an old pillow case, fill the laundry tubs with soapy water and Lysol and try to wash some of the adventure off of him. My dad loved that cat and the only time I saw him cry was when the cat died.
