No, this has nothing to do with sports. But read the account below and then tell me you're not glad I included it:
A Cleveland (TX) man was attacked by a housecat Friday afternoon and the man's injuries are so severe that he had to be taken by air ambulance to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston.Yes, the man was armed with a knife, and still could not fend off Mr. Whiskers. He was rushed to Memorial Hermann, of course, because of its internationally renowned Cat Trauma Ward.
The altercation between the man and the animal occurred at a home on CR 3182 a few miles south of Cleveland in Liberty County.
At some point during the attack, the man and the cat reportedly were injured by a knife the man was holding. The man was taken to Cleveland Regional Medical Center before being transported to Houston.
And that's it, Texas. Rangers lose World Series to team from California, Obama captures bin Laden when Bush couldn't, and now this. Time to change state slogan to "Some Messing With Texas Now Allowed."

but I'd like to find out that the cat's going to be okay, too. And even more, was it this guy's own cat? What is going to be done with it?
Did he attack the cat, or did the cat attack him? Either way, what a
jerk to pull a knife on a cat! The story reads like he injured himself with the knife while trying to kill the cat with it. If that's the case, he
needs to be charged with animal abuse... after he gets stitched up.
Never bring a knife to a cat-fight!
I am pretty sure the cat is taking the blame for someone else, who fled the scene before help arrived- maybe his bookie, I bet the cat tried to protect him.
