There was a ferel cat living under this apartment that 
attacked my PIT BULL repeatedly when I was taking him out for a walk.

My dog just stood there wanting to make friends as the cat stood
it's ground and tore Spanky up :-(

I finally had to call animal control who dropped off a
trap so I captured the animal.

ITMT in the course of protecting my dog I got slashed up pretty
good and got "cat scratch fever" for my trouble.

Hands swelled up quite painfully for two months.
