Baloney, to put it politely.
My grandmother had a cat that attacked people, including herself. It hid behind furniture, waited for someone to walk by, and pounced on the person's legs, teeth biting and claws scratching. My mother and aunts lost many good pairs of nylon stockings to that cat, not to mention the wounds it inflicted.
Everyone else in the family hated that cat, but my grandmother adored it and always treated it well. If it attacked her, she laughed and hugged it, pinning its legs so that it couldn't scratch her. She fed it the best food, fresh meat and fish that she cooked for her family when they visited or for herself.
Some animals are just nasty or crazy or too wild to be good pets regardless of the treatment they get. -

Right. You just admitted that your grand mother was REWARDING the cat for it's misbehavior. I also doubt that your grandmother had a rigorous playing routine with the cat because what you describe is normal feline behavior, they like to stalk, ambush and kill. What you need to do is redirect that energy onto toys.
You said nothing of the age, breed or any past experience the cat might of had, which could also explain it's misbehavior. You just seem ignorant about cats in general from what I've seen from your posts. -

No matter what the owner does, you cat ladies will turn it around and say it's the owner's fault. If I has said my grandmother gave the cat a timeout whenever it chased and bit people, you'd say she was being cruel.

How is what I described rewarding its behavior?

Whatever I say, you're going to blame the breed. Anyhow, what breed? Most cats in those days, like most dogs, were mutts.

What I described qualifies as a vigorous playing routine. And the cat was an outdoor cat so it had plenty of other stimulation.
because what you describe is normal feline behavior, they like to stalk, ambush and kill.
Yeah, that's normal feline behavior if we're talking about lions.
What kind of lunatic wants a lion as a pet?
My grandmother's second cat was a sweetie and never did anything like "stalk, ambush and kill" any humans in the house.
Why is it that one cat was a sweetie and the other cat was a monster when they had the same owner? -

I notice you haven't answered a single one of my points . All emotion, no logic. So grumpy.
Sorry, you don't win arguments on emotion alone. And I see no strong emotion when it comes to children from you, only for cats. Is that somehow superior? How so?
