Its a Bengal F4 whatever that means
F4 means it's 4 generations from wild cats - basically a domestic cat. Bengals are a gorgeous breed.

Please don't declaw a cat. If the cat is an issue, give it to someone who can deal with it. Declawing a cat is more than like removing fingernails; it removes the last segment of their toes - it'd be like having your fingers cut off at the first joint. Declawed cats have sore foot issues and can't clean or scratch themselves well or at all. It's a recipe for a miserable cat.

Ok, I just watched the damn cat go total ape $**** on my dog. He didn't do crap he was sleeping on the floor and the cat ran up and lit his face up. I locked her outside on the balcony in a kennel, something is wrong with her.
Was just sitting here answering some thread earlier and I heard screaming. I got up and went into the hallway and our cat had my sons head in her paws kicking him in the face and biting him on the ear. She tore him up pretty bad and im not sure what the hell happened, I dont know if she was trying to play and was being to agressive or if she was really trying to hurt him. Cats cannot be disciplined like dogs because they dont respond and I dont know if I should get rid of her or give her the benefit of the doubt. I was so freakin mad when I broke it up I wanted to strangle her but I controlled myself. She has never done anything before and usually just plays with him and the dog but I do know cats are wild animals and can do crazy things sometimes.What are your thoughts?
How is your son doing?
He is doing just fine, he has some scrapes here and there on his scalp and face, but he is cool. The cat is out on the balcony in a kennel rolling around making strange noises. She is an inside cat and has got out once but we found her. The way she is acting seems like shes got friggin rabies for the way she is acting. I dont want to jump to any conclusions though ill just wait until tomorrow morning.
You know what pet goes well with little kids?
However the wife just told me last week we will be getting a cat soon. not sure what I think about that yet. Its a Bengal F4 whatever that means
SWMBO had three cats when we married. After our daughter was big enough to be mobile, two of them were remarkably patient, and let her climb all over them. Once she got older, they got less tolerant, and have given her warning slashes (no claws) and a couple of scratches when she got too rough with them.I would probably get rid of the cat if it attacked my (young) son or daughter. On the other hand I know you are probably fond of the cat so that would be hard.

I think they're rated like hurricanes. F4 is pretty destructive.
Encounters like this are almost never the fault of the animal.
cat attacks kid = no more cat
definitely check it out and see what's wrong with it if you're going to give it away...i suppose it's the right thing to do.
i personally would put a bullet in ANY animal that attacked a child of mine, no matter how much it meant to me.
If I need to get rid of it I will and if it something medical and expensive ill get her put down.
Wow... I really hope you don't get any more pets.
Sorry to offend you but I dont have thousands of dollars laying around to treat the damn cat if need be.

I can appreciate this. I've had several cats in my life and I spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on a few of them. In the end that money did nothing to improve the quality of life of the animal. I take good care of my animals, but I draw the line when my vet wants to prescribe an $800 series of tests that might diagnose a condition for which there might be a marginally effective treatment.

I'll tell you that I, for one, will put a dog down before I spend $500 on doggy tests.
$500 is a drop in the bucket - I'm likely one of the most broke people here and we just spent that much on a deathly ill beloved cat, who is just fine now, if anyone here cares.
So how many charities and homeless shelters have you donated $500 to? Anyone can talk the talk. But I can't imagine anyone would be a very good pet owner if they didn't love their animal enough to spend a measly $500 to save its life. You shouldn't be a pet owner if all you are willing to do is feed and water and pet it - they get that and more from the SPCA.
...As well as apparently the same risk of being euthanized.
So have you actually had to make the choice to put your pet down instead of spending a lot of money on it? And then did you turn around and donate that money instead to a senior citizen charity?I defy anyone to tell me I'm a bad pet owner for not thinking my pet's life is more important than another human's.
Is the cat spayed? Maybe she went nuts because she's in heat?

I won't argue with your principle, but the way you justify it is ridiculous.
That's hilarious/gross/sad - pick one, two, or all three.
