Er... this was in Fox News so it was probably a pinko socialist cat, and being a Himalayan undoubtedly an immigrant. Actually a "himmie" is a bi-coloured Persian, usually very mild mannered cat. However I have posted here before about our late lamented Tommy a blue and white Persian who had slightly psychopathic tendencies, but was my best mate. The only cat we had that just went straight on the attack was a temporary rescue resident mother cat with small kittens, which we put down to over-protectiveness.
And kicking it might not be a good idea at all.
