They came out of nowhere. They jumped on Husky Sam (dog) first and I was on the lead. I had to visit a doctor after the attack by three feral cats

The woman, Jude Merwood, said that she was out for an early evening walk with her dog Husky Sam when the incident took place.

"They came out of nowhere. They jumped on Husky Sam (dog) first and I was on the lead. I had to visit a doctor after the attack by three feral cats," said Merwood.

Though the dog was left unscathed, Merwood was covered in blood. She contacted authorities who told her that they did not really have a policy when it comes to wild/stray cats.

The woman has advised people to be careful of the possible danger while walking their dogs, saying the three feral cats will certainly be around somewhere.
