Feral Cats Attacks Texas Man

I am surprised in a small way to see this happen. I have caught numerous 20+ pound feral cats. They look like they are on steroids. I have no doubt they could kill small livestock.  I thought it would be another ten years or so before we started hearing about super ferals attacking humans. Despite the nature of the encounter here we got it happening right here in Texas. If it had been a elderly person or a child the ending may have been muy Muerto. Here is a link to a channel two story depicting a man attacked by a feral cats. http://www.click2houston.com/video/27832112/index.html. I have been attacked walking my dog numerous times by cats both singularly or in groups. Generally this is a diversion to let a young or pregnant cat get away 1st. despite the fact there was no threat. My Airedale made short work of these encounters but she is getting old to be chasing cats. Cats live on a high social order and they will protect the group. If we ever figure what cats are truly good for and teach them to do it, we should have good workers. Cats having a simple genetic structure we could probably put them in much simpler job than dogs if we ever train them for workaday use. In the mean time I suggest we all call Rep. Dennis Bonnen and ask him how a state wide problem can only be addressed locally. He says he is not on "that committee" when asked about anything he does not want to talk about. He never wants to talk about birds. Rep. Dennis Bonnen ,when asked to commit to a stand on trap neuter and release or the widely accepted scientific approach of the American Bird Conservancy's Cats Indoors program, he can't make a decision. The  American Bird Conservancy's program to restrict free roaming cats is called Cat Indoors. This program is endorsed by Brazoria county's own Andrew Sansom, former director of Texas Parks and Wildlife and the rest of the avian scientific community.  Like Hightower says, even dead things can go with the flow. That is what Lake Jackson & Texas has been doing.....making do with an outdated and unfair law that allows cats to roam under an exemption to the law.  In the richest bird area in America Lake Jackson and Dennis Bonnen side with the cats.
