cat weasel
she was a legend when i was growing up. she'd stalk the high street, swinging around lampposts and yelling at the top of her voice, usually along the lines of "milkmen are not for sale! my plant! mine!"
however, the most bizarre thing i ever saw her do was in boots. i was only 4 at the time, my little sister was 18 months old and sitting in her pram, being pushed around boots by mum.
all of a sudden catweasel leaps out from the next aisle, reaches down and attempts to both smother and claw my little sister. mum, naturally, went ballistic. she punched catweasel in the face, knocking her to the floor. catweasel was back up in a flash, as if she were spring-loaded and, within 2 seconds, was firmly clamping onto my sister's face again. mum again knocked her down, again she sprang back.
eventually, 2 burly security guards came over and freed my sister from this utter mental.
only for a few seconds, though, as she squirmed free of their grasp and attacked sis once more.
it took all of the guards' strength(and mum's, too) to finally get her out of the shop, but fortunately, there was a policeman walking past, who arrested her on the spot.
very much shaken up, mum took me and my badly-scratched and scared sister back home again.

the last time i saw this borderline psychotic, she was playing marbles in the street.
with potatoes.

I might be missing something here
But, surely someone who randomly attacks people, let alone an infant, would be put in a padded room by those with authority?

she should have been
but, according to a friend of mine who worked in social services, she was very good at playing normal when she had to. she'd be put away for a week or so, then act as if she had been perfectly normal all her life and be let out again.
