So, not so funny story.
I adopted a cat, who turned into the worst meanest cat I've ever had. No idea what happened. She was just mean as a horsefly.
She attacked one of my daughters. Totally unprovoked, just walked up to her and scratched the hell out of her face and arms.
After that I said ok, thats it, I'm putting her down. If I kicked her outside she'd just starve to death, and I'm not gonna rehome an animal like that.
So who would have known that .22 shorts will bounce off a cat skull?
I had to hunt down a wounded, angry, 20lb beast of a cat with something bigger, after it took off when the point blank shot to the skull didn't put it down.
