Mackenzie was all hissy and hostile when we had the new cat in the apartment, so Barry thought he'd teach her a lesson by hissing playfully in her face. She responded (unsurprisingly to everyone but Barrett) by SHRIEKING like a demon banshee in a way that scared us all shitless, then scrambled out of his arms to hide while we stood there half-trembling and checking to see if we'd soiled ourselves.
The moral of the story:
Cats do not understand the concept of "getting a taste of your own medicine".
Cats understand the concept of "I WILL FUCKING RIP YOUR FACE OFF AND DEVOUR YOUR SOUL", and they employ it frequently.
This image does not accurately convey how loud and terrifying the noise actually was. lol. Especially at 11:30 at night. I bet all our elderly neighbors were like, "WTF WAS THAT?!"
