• By Sophie Cornish<br />
WHEN AMY Gianelly<br />
walked along the road<br />
holding her daughter,<br />
crying and bleeding, she<br />
couldn’t quite believe what<br />
Puss Puss had done.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Templeton motherof-two<br />
was attacked by her<br />
family’s two-year-old tabby<br />
cat Puss Puss on <strong>December</strong><br />
10.<br />
Puss Puss, who recently<br />
had kittens, was spooked<br />
after seeing a rottweiler<br />
outside the house.<br />
She then lunged at Kiara,<br />
Miss Gianelly’s, two-yearold<br />
daughter, biting and<br />
scratching her.<br />
“I knew she was p...d<br />
off when she saw the dog,<br />
she started growling and I<br />
tried to shut the door but<br />
she jumped over my leg .<br />
. . It was like she was possessed;<br />
I have never seen<br />
a cat go like that. She was<br />
protecting her babies.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>n I pulled her off<br />
Kiara and she jumped at<br />
my face. I pulled her off me<br />
and she kept jumping up<br />
and attacking me, it happened<br />
about five times. I<br />
finally got away and locked<br />
ourselves in the bedroom.”<br />
“Blood was dripping<br />
down my face, my house<br />
looked like a crime scene.”<br />
Miss Gianelly escaped<br />
the house with Kiara and<br />
they began walking to the<br />
Templeton Medical Centre,<br />
as Miss Gianelly doesn’t<br />
drive.<br />
A truck driver who was<br />
going past saw the pair,<br />
who were bleeding, and offered<br />
to give them a ride.<br />
Once at the medical<br />
centre, they were rushed<br />
to Christchurch Hospital,<br />
where Miss Gianelly<br />
received about 30 stitches<br />
from a plastic surgeon.<br />
Kiara’s scratches and bite<br />
marks were superficial and<br />
will heal on their own.<br />
Miss Gianelly said<br />
people she has told about<br />
the attack have been “twominded”<br />
about what to do<br />
with Puss Puss.<br />
“Some people are saying<br />
put her down . . . but then<br />
heaps of people are saying<br />
it is a cat protecting her<br />
babies, how can you fault<br />
a cat for that? I’m in the<br />
middle, but I am trying<br />
to do what’s best for my<br />
family. If I feel she is any<br />
danger or threat, she will<br />
be rehomed.”<br />
Puss Puss’s kittens will<br />
be rehomed soon and she<br />
will be fixed.<br />
