This is the "Dark Knight Returns" of kitten videos, darker, more realistic.

It's hard to get something away from a cat who really wants it.

When I was a kid, my hamster Scooter jumped out of the cage when I was feeding him. I tried to catch him, but he ran out into the Hall and our cat Bianca saw him.

She chased him into the kitchen and he ran between the fridge and the counter. She pushed herself in the gap and when I yanked her out, she had Scooter in her mouth. She had clamped down hard on his shoulder with his whole left forelimb in her mouth.

Scooter's eyes were bulging and he was making a chattering sound. He couldn't turn his head to get a bite in and he was gyrating the free portions of his body wildly.

Meanwhile, Bianca was shredding my hands with her claws and biting down harder and harder. She was growling and her eyes looked crazy scary.

I managed to get one hand under her jaw and squeezed her cheeks between my thumb and fingers, the same trick we had to use to get our dog's mouth open when we had to give him pills. It worked and Scooter flopped out of Bianca's mouth. He fell on the floor and seemed to be still trying to run away, but his motions were spastic.

Bianca was yowling, spitting, still clawing at me and started trying to bite. I grabbed Scooter and dropped the cat who tried to climb me like a tree to get to the Hamster. I knocked her off, ran to my room and shut the door. Scooter was dead. Not knowing what else to do, I put him back in the cage and laid on the bed until my parents got back from the store.

It's really hard to get something away from a cat.

Just light it and it'll let go real quick.
