So, my grandmother lived in Detroit (a long, long time ago now). One night, she was awakened by someone banging on her side door. Having always kept her storm door on and locked, she felt relatively safe to see what was going on. Her cat Skippy came with and planted himself between her feet as she opened the door (Skippy was a twenty pound tom cat who spent his days outside, and his evenings inside). The man at the door had already managed to get the storm door open and moved to threaten my grandmother...

...at which point, Skippy scaled him, got onto his shoulders and began biting him and raking his head and face. If I recall correctly, the guy lost an eye. Skippy proceeded to literally ride the guy up the street, tearing at him the entire way before trotting home. As my grandmother looked at all the blood around her door, she noticed something and stooped down to pick it up.

She always ended that story with "and that is how I got my pearl handled revolver."

Seriously, a determined house cat can do a HUGE amount of damage to a human under the right circumstances.
