The woman was trying to chase away the cat when the animal decided to teach her a lesson she would never forget and jumped straight to her face in a brutal attack. The whole scene was caught on tape by the victim's home surveillance camera.

After the cat incident, the woman ran into the house with a swollen face and an infected wound, made by the cat she used to consider a friendly neighborhood feline. The victim had taken Buddy the cat in her care over the summer to avoid being put down, but after the incident she decided the animal is too dangerous and left it to officials to put Buddy to sleep.

Despite the horrible attack, the woman remains a cat lover and still can't believe that the animal she used to know as sweet and harmless could do that to her, noted Daily Mail.

The video, which already hit more than one million views on YouTube, shows how the cat ferociously attacks the woman, putting her to the ground. The victim barely manages to get up, throwing the cat away before running in the house.
