The example of pit bulls was to remind everyone of how the law will deal with and does regularly animals who harm humans. While not as intimidating, cats can cause permanent harm if they want to. I doubt if one left permanent scars on your face you would maintain your sentiment. Yes diff animals but still both potentially dangerous to babies, kids, and in this case adults. I have two dogs now and have owned animals all my life Mack. The abuse you refer too is extreme and I doubt any of the guys that posted daydream about it. This is a sensitive subject for you? Just remember most of us here love animals. Humans come first, especially the safety of our wives and children. Cats in this case control their own destiny.
