You get up, eat breakfast, shower, pick out your clothes for the day, completely unaware that you are going to come face to face with the meanest housecat in the world. Oh you think you\u2019ve seen a temperamental kitty cat before? I guarantee that you\u2019ve never seen anything like what Cassie Sonnentag faced when she went into a home alone before a showing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sonnentag is a real estate agent with Century 21 in Altoona Wisconsin, and like any good agent, she likes to go into the home prior to her clients\u2019 arrival so she can make sure everything is ready. Little did she know that this was not going to be any ordinary showing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh look, the owners have an adorable-looking cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKitty, kitty\u2026 it\u2019s ok\u2026 ARGH!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And so began a titanic ten minute standoff between real estate agent and the most vile demon-cat this side of the 7<sup>th<\/sup> Circle of Hell. Thankfully, in this day and age, everyone has a camera phone and nothing even remotely interesting happens without ending up on the internet. And of course, the video went viral, because who doesn\u2019t love a heartwarming story of a charmingly pleasant woman and an insane snarling feline?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For your viewing pleasure we present \u201cWhen Cats Attack: Real Estate Agent vs Sweet Innocent Kitty Cat\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"760\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r-3Hp5ljPL0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>That miserable monster looks and sounds like he\u2019s going to use her as his own personal scratching post! He has her backed into a corner and strikes at her with his claws and razor-sharp teeth. My favorite part is Sonnentag trying to reason with the little hellion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStay.. good kitty\u2026 I\u2019m just gonna go past\u2026 ARGH!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surely she\u2019s met a cat before. Sound reasoning is not generally high up there on their list of admirable qualities. I\u2019ve got to give her credit though; the calming hand gestures were a nice touch. Ultimately futile, but a nice touch, nonetheless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually she managed to escape the situation and lock the four-legged demon in the spare bedroom. This should really be the end of the story, but guess what? There\u2019s more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the clients showed up to view the home, they apparently weren\u2019t content on just watching the video on Sonnentag\u2019s phone. No, they had to see it for themselves. Maybe they fancied themselves as cat whisperers? Sadly, there is no video (that we know of!) of the next encounter, but needless to say it apparently went as well as you\u2019d expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fluffy was not impressed at being locked in the spare room, and let his displeasure be known by attacking all three and chasing them to the front door. How\u2019s that for a guard-kitty? It seems he knows his boundaries!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The real estate agent rightfully sent the video to the listing agent and suggested that the owners lock it up before the next showing. Perhaps she should have also suggested any future buyers sign a waiver and put on protective clothing before entering the home. At the very least they might want to carry a vial of holy water and a wooden stake\u2026 just to be on the safe side!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sonnentag had a great piece of advice for anyone who owns pets and wants to list their home for sale. \u201cI honestly just posted the video to show: This is why you lock your pets up for showings,\u201d Sonnentag says. \u201cThey may be fine with you, but that\u2019s their home and they don\u2019t want intruders in there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just imagine if the animal was something REALLY terrifying\u2026 like a walking dead gerbil.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, and it probably won\u2019t come as a surprise, but the buyers passed on that house!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shockingly this isn&#8217;t the first &#8220;Attack Cat&#8221; we have seen in Real Estate.  It&#8217;s not that hard to find more instances of cat&#8217;s standing their ground.
