Overexcited grown man attacked by cat
Paws off the Christmas presents!
Andrew Woodward, of Georgia, was enthusiastically ripping the wrapping paper off his new PlayStation 4 on Sunday when his cat pounced on him and viciously clawed at his head and neck.
Video of the incident was posted to Facebook by Woodward's friend Jessica Freeman and had been shared nearly 200,000 times by Monday morning.
"This has resulted in a trip to the doctor and stitches. We love him and genuinely hope he feels better. It's just nice to be able to laugh with your best friends," Freeman said of Woodward's injuries.
Since posting the video of the cat attack, Woodward and Freeman have been accused of animal abuse and somehow provoking the feisty feline.
"A human was attacked here, not a cat," Freeman said in response to criticism, adding that the attack against her friend was premeditated.
"You can clearly see him walk up and calmly sit while planning his attack ... Only in 2016 would people blame a person who didn't touch an animal for getting attacked by said animal bc they were excited," Freeman added.
Woodward — who is sporting some scratches and a tear in his ear — is expected to fully recover.
Hey, idiot 432hz, I THINK you meant 'you're' such as this:
"As for the cat
You're dead meat.
End of."
R.C. asks Sez who?
Why?
You going to do it?
Or do you get your jollies thinking about such stuff and even more so by writing malevolently inspired CRAP like the above.
I feel joy when i witness joy in others
Who are we to judge how others come by these moments.
I see many disparraging comments here.
As if you all have your heads buried in your asses based upon your own media driven senses of whats right or,heaven forbid,fashionable lmao
Sickening to be honest.
"Its no sign of good health to be well adapted to an incredibly sick world"
"Who are we to judge how others come by these moments. I see many disparraging comments here. As if you all have your heads buried in your asses based upon your own media driven senses of whats right or,heaven forbid,fashionable lmao "
LOL. Was that not a judgement?
"You must be a luddite.Everyone games nowadays."
Was that not judgemental?
What's the fashionable phrase?
Oh yeah, 'triggered snowflake'.
Triggered Star Wars gaming snowflake. LOL.
It's no measure of health to defend your own retarded Star Wars addictions using Jiddu Krishnamurti as a human shield. LOL.
Reminds of school yard stuff
"Look at him,his eyes are too close together
Lets get him gang,we're the in crowd lol
Weaklings....
I stand on my own 2 feet.
Group consensus is for sheep.
What key is your Lute tuned to Fleet Baa minor
All this brouhaha about a cat? When a dozen more important articles have nary a single comment? If I didn't know better, I would suspect that CIA / NSA / DIA hackers have infiltrated SOTT to stir up storms of controversy over absolutely nothing.
Not only the Russians can hack, you know. Why, my sainted auntie who died of lung cancer after smoking six packs of unfiltered cigarettes a day for 90 years ended up hacking so spectacularly that she put all the Russians and American and Chinese hackers to shame. So fess up, all you folks on this string of commentary, you-all are really working for North Korea, aren't you?? Is Kim Jong Un paying you? If so, I have bad news - their currency is worthless. You cannot use it to buy anything except kimchi, and that gets awfully boring after the first thousand mouthfuls.
Besides, my cat who is sitting here on the chair with me says no cat would ever attack a human unless the human was either (a) disrespectful, or (b) supplied inferior quality cat food, or (c) failed to empty the litter box regularly, or (d) was secretly working as a hacker for North Korea, where the people eat cats.
Hey, SOTT editors, are you running out of news, that you have to post this kind of story? We can get this kind of stuff on the front page top and center of the NY Times and the WaPo any day. Has your editorial staff been infiltrated by some bespectacled maiden aunt who secretly keeps 74 cats in her two-bedroom condo? Or are you losing faith in the intelligence of your readers? What gives??
Its illustrated how shallow folk have become
Guy gets attacked by a cat.
Everyone laughs at his choice of entertainment & ridicules him instead.
SOTT played a master stroke
Weeded the empathy deficient examples among us out nicely..
Interesting that this site runs so many articles covering this very deficiency its almost its theme.
Nice one Lute,hook,line n sinker.....
I knew there would have to be at least one idiot who'd pull the "poor cat" outta the bag from my comment.
Harden up poofter
Communists have made women of you all.
Empathy with the cat .
Pass me the .22
The 'symptoms' of free speech are often disgusting and repugnant and almost unbearable. Other times, they are just merely annoying. (Other times, they are actually pleasant and/or enjoyable.)
But it is the 'symptoms' of unfree speech (censorship, directed thought campaigns and modern illicit mind control) that are much worse.
I am very much for Sott maintaining a kind of bulletin board policy. You walk in the store and you are free to haggle over everything and anything. For however long and however much you need to. Then you can always walk out.
And the store's imagined owners (anybody with a big fat greedy ass for a brain) should be the last to decide what sells and for how much.
I've been around the block several times now (with many more trips to go) and I've watched things burn.
When you think you are burning something bad, you are usually burning something good, even if you don't particularly like it.
Are you advocating speech restraint ?
Or just sitting on the proverbial fence ?
I couldnt make a call
6 of these or 1 1/2 dozen of the other..
Hmmm.
Minding the store ,hmmmm.
Kids need minding.
Adults shouldnt be in the kitchen if they dont like the heat

Yall are miserable complaining about the fact the guy got a video game console for a christmas present and one of yall noticing the storm trooper thing instead of focusing on the actually cat that fucking mike tysoned the top part of his ear
also if you think hes autistic? he might be so what do you have to say now
and if hes not: people are allowed to enjoy their lives if you dont like people playing video games then yall stop watching college basketball and television? oh you dont want too then SHUT THE FUCK UP. and finally the stormtrooper thing lets say hes a star wars fan starwars is over 30 FUCKING YEARS OLD and stormtroopers have existed since 1977 so even if hes 30 he probably just became a fan when he was young and was still a fan later some people are miserable excuses for human beings that shouldnt exist i hope most of you have improved your personalities in the past 4 years
A GROWN MAN receiving a video game as a gift???
Obviously this would indicate that he some sort of mental deficient.
