A group of cats were not scared off by a dog and attacked a woman near the woods, according to emergency workers in France.
The woman was walking her dog at the edge of the woods, when the group of wild cats attacked her.
The woman, 31, was walking her apricot poodle, when six stray cats approached her and attacked.
"They scratched and bit my daughter and really went for it," the woman’s mother, Josette Galliot, said.
"They jumped on her and managed to knock her down. The cats bit her in the leg and arms. They even pierced an artery," she said.
The woman was taken to a hospital where she received precautionary rabies shots. Her dog was taken to a veterinary.
"The vet told us that in his 20 years on the job, he never saw such a thing. The vet could not find a single explanation for the abnormal behavior of the cats," Galliot said.
"We must get rid of this scourge," Galliot continued. "There are too many cats in the area, many of which are strays. There are also a lot of kids here. I do not want it to happen again," Galliot said.
Cats are usually solitary creatures and do not feed on humans.
