Ah, but Nick, that's part of the joy of living with a cat, big or small - they aren't really tame, ever, and even a small one can put the fear of God into a human once in a while. Just last year (or the year before), police were called in town by three adults because their cat, they said, had gone mad and attacked them, and they were afraid to enter their apartment without police protection. Apparently there was lots of blood and a very riled up cat, but I never heard what happened in the end. These people were never named in the press, just as well, as they must have been mortally stupid: the most insane of kitties can be rolled up in a blanket pretty easily.
