Imagine What These Cats Could Do To You If You Fell

Harley Myles — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 15:39:51 +0000

This is creepy. It reminds me of my parent's house. Except most of her 50 cats are outside. You can't take a step without eitehr stepping on one or narrowly avoiding breaking your neck.

I told her one day she will fall, be incapacitated and have her precious cats eat all her skin off and leave her to die. Just like in the stories you hear. Her response shocked me.

"But what a way to go!!" She said.

This video shows how out of control a situation like that could be. Give this video to a friend that is considering taking in cats.
