“Look Out Shrek, He’s Got A Piece!”

17 comments

A Cleveland, TX man is airlifted to Memorial Hermann Medical Center in Houston after an encounter with a feral housecat:

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.

Thus disproving the theory that a litte pussy never hurt anyone.

So the guy was so severely injured that, even after being evaluated and presumably stabilized by a physician at Cleveland Regional Medical Center, he was still so bad off he needed a helicopter? But hey, I'm also the guy that personally took care of a double-fatality ostrich attack, so I suppose anything is possible.

Based upon my experience with Houston rush hour traffic, a 49-mile ambulance trip could easily take 3-4 hours, so maybe it was necessary.

I think the lesson we can all draw from this is that, when dealing with strange pussy, condoms are not enough.

Wear Kevlar.

    Kevlar doesn’t stop a good knife, AD :-D A martial arts instructor (and former SEAL) taught me that. Ceramic – now that’s the good stuff!

    Buy the book, homey, buy the book!

    Actually, I think it’s on the blog, too. Do a search on “When Ostriches Attack.”

    I think the more correct response would be that Kevlar will not stop a *Navy SEAL* with a good knife.

    But how many street thugs (or pussies, for that matter) who are Navy SEALs, or have good knives?

    A good Kevlar stab vest will slow it down, at least.

    One good lac to the carotid is all it would take…

    Oh, for those who want to read the ostrich attack, read his book! :-)

    Chainmail over gambeson, or failing that, brigandine over chainmail over gambeson.

    Or you could just go for a gothic style breastplate.

    I think the weapon of choice in this case might be fish. Preferably tuna :-)

    Nothing wrong with scratch marks and rugburn in the morning, but stitches?  That is a bit too much for me.

     Remember hearing about the guy who got tore up by a Bobcat kitten.   Now if a Bobcat kitten can do that,  certainly a full grown Tomcat who’s gone back to the Dark Side could certainly tear you up.
