Yeah, that kind of bothered me too. But the cats reaction remindinded me so much of my Onyx kitty. He's impossible about some things. If it hurts him, he'll try to attack it! Once we came home from work hissing and spitting at a wire he was chewing on. Of course we got it away from him right away (and thankfully he wasn't hurt and we quickly figured out how to kitty proof all of our wiring!) Instead of just leaving it alone when it zapped him, he had to go attack the thing! I'm glad we walked in when we did because he would have been at it until it dropped him. Cats....lol
