Iowa mom repeatedly whacks intruder with toy bat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa -- A woman surprised by a man in the front room of her home near Council Bluffs grabbed a plastic toy bat and hit him repeatedly until he ran out the front door. The Pottawattamie County sheriff's office said the 26-year-old woman was taking a bath Wednesday night with her 3-year-old child when she noticed a cat who normally stays outside had entered the bathroom. Thinking this odd, she dressed and walked into the front room, where she saw a man standing over her 4-year-old son, who was sleeping in a recliner.
She yelled for him to leave and threatened to call 911, but he hit her in the head.
She then grabbed the bat and hit him multiple times until he ran away.
The sheriff's office said the woman didn't know the man.
Once again proving that in an emergency, almost
anything can be used defensively to protect yourself and your loved ones. Never corner a cat.

Especially don't corner a black cat. I have five of them. They do stuff like this:

Too bad it wasn't a machete or a tire iron or some other "make sure he never comes back" tool

We once lived in a nice apartment but there was a big open grassy field next to the apartments. One night a mouse ran out from behind the couch. My wife and I saw a small grey blur then a large grey blur. The large grey blur was our cat.
The cat caught the mouse and dispatched it instantly.
I tried to take the mouse away from the cat to throw it away.
Wrong!!!!!!!!

If you want to bath a cat, don't: just slice your arms several times with a really sharp knife! It's just easier in the end.

My cats really don't seem to mind the lathering up with shampoo and rinsing off part. It's the initial wetting down that seems to bother them so much.

You know those rubber mats with the little suction cups on the bottom, made to go in the bathtub to stand on when you take a shower? If you put one in the sink when you bathe the cat, there will be lots less drama. They hate having no traction. When they can dig their claws into the rubber and stand without sliding, they tend to relax.
I wonder what kind of plastic toy bat the woman in the original story used. If it was one of those hollow plastic ones she is lucky it had enough momentum to be effective. OTOH since it was light, she could swing it fast. Is this like 9 mm versus .45 ACP ? Light and fast versus heavy and slower?
