Vicious Cats?

I don't particularly agree, cats in the wild have no soft spots in their personality other than with their young. I don't even know how long their affinity for their young lasts. If you take a kitten away from it's mother and then bring it back in four months it will act as it would with any strange cat. I am not sure how this relates to your question though. LOL I have met some cats that are nice in every situation and I have had a cat that was just pure hateful. I have no idea what was wrong with my cat but at a very young age it just all the sudden turned and it was at the point where I could pick her up when I came home from work for a few moments and other than that she just hung with me from afair. She attacked my friends, ran up my landlords legs with no claws and when he threw her off she went back. She scared (by screaming) a maintenance man who was working out side a screened open window so bad he fell off the ladder. She was pure meaness. I only wonder if when I was at work at one apartment if the maintenance man came in and kicked her. I have seen a few other cats get mean in certain very unusual circumstances. I let my friends cat out in the pitch dark where there was no ambient light by accident. The cats never go out. If I had known more about the cat I would have known I could have talked him in, but I panicked. I panicked so bad that I grabbed him by the tail in an effort to get him inside at all costs (after other machinations). He curled up and grabbed my hand and bit the living day lights out of it. That was pure self defense. He was the sweetest cat in the world. I think there is a self preservation gene in there that takes them to their roots and allows them to act like they are wild when necessary or when something goes off in them. Cats are their own people and they are very independent. You live with them, they let you do what they allow you to do. They are in charge.

Well my cats are way vicious when they play. I get pretty scratched up after playing with them. Sometimes when insects come into my house my cats act like they are hunting the insects but then after they kill them they don't eat them so i guess they do it just for fun.

With the way a couple of my kitties are when they are in rotten moods, I could just about believe that. I think it's all in how a person defines "vicious" I guess.
