What Is the Most Horrifying Thing Your Cat Has Done?

Pepper ~ Did a "Mouser" and lost part of her tail. We never found the remains. It was severed cleanly.

Willy ~ Ran out of the house into the neighbor's yard (2 doors down). The house were 3 boxers live. They chewed him pretty well, but if they had really wanted to kill him, he would have been dead at the first bite.

I would have been in a panic to see all that blood when I got home, Lisa. Gllad it was nothing worse, though quite bad enough.

Miss Z, by CH cat, has fallen from the second floor deck twice, getting through the barriers somehow, but survived unscathed to my intense relief.

The most utterly terrifying incident happened many years ago. I bought a mouse house as a toy for some young ferals, they were about 8 months old. It had wood on four sides and bottom and a heavy cardboard roof top. There was a felt mouse inside on a spring loaded string. They loved it, reaching in with their paws to draw out the mouse and then going mad to do it again when the mouse sprang back inside.

I came home from work one day to find the living room is major disarray with chairs turned over, throws on the floor, everything from tables all over the floor, and all the cats huddled into corners with big saucer eyes. I thought first of someone being in the house vandalizing it. Then I heard a strange noise and went into a bedroom where I found Ginger with her head stuck fast inside the mousehole of the house. At first she wouldn't let me get hold of her and kept racing around with this heavy thing on her head, smashing into everything. Then I cornered her and tore off the top. I found her totally lathered and the inside of the house soaked with sweat and saliva. She couldn't get her head back through the hole so I had to break through the walls. Every time I used a saw, she panicked again. (These cats were still very feral.) I ended up using a pair of pliers and chipping away the wood bit by bit until the hole was big enough to get her head out. The only problem was that she kept trying to pull her head away and I was afraid she would cut her neck on the raw wood.

Anyway, it didn't do her any lasting harm because she turned 21 last June.
