When I was a kid there was a big abandoned tabby in our neighborhood who would behave like a gentleman most of the time, but occasionally he'd go berserk and claw the hell out of somebody for no apparent reason. The next day he'd go up to that same person asking to be petted. Maybe he was just a jerk.Gordon Gricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13068980330242909601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049832311913108906.post-32046305319934512262011-11-19T15:50:11.711-06:002011-11-19T15:50:11.711-06:00You kidding?

Anything that involves a pointy thing going into your eye region is nightmare fuel XD<br /><br />Yeah I had thought about the ocelot being rabid as well but... it didn´t keep attacking. It just pounced on them once, clawed them for a few moments then dissappeared. Maybe it was just startled or was a female trying to defend her nearby kittens...Croconutnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049832311913108906.post-26746727010406805012011-11-16T14:14:30.789-06:002011-11-16T14:14:30.789-06:00That incident with your grandfather sounds like ra...That incident with your grandfather sounds like rabid behavior. I suppose it probably wasn't, though, if neither man got sick. <br /><br />I find the zookeeper incident was not as bad as I remembered: "A zoo keeper in Kent, England, suffered a bite on the eyelid while trying to feed one."Gordon Gricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13068980330242909601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049832311913108906.post-50061950989301935412011-11-14T17:58:46.068-06:002011-11-14T17:58:46.068-06:00I'd like to read that :D

They were seemingly very docile but, one time he had to go on a business trip and left a friend in charge of feeding them. Well the friend didn`t feed them properly, and when the guy returned he found that the male ocelot had killed and eaten the female.<br />Not an attack on humans but a nasty story nonetheless... and I guess it shows that these are still wild animals...<br /><br />I do remember that my grandfather (who was a hunter when he was young) always told the story of how a "tigrillo" (thats what country people here call the ocelot) attacked him and his hunting partner. They weren`t chasing the cat- it just leaped out from the bushes and clawed them both before it dissappeared as quickly as it had appeared. <br />At least it wasn`t a cougar or a jag or I would probably not be here typing this!
