How much proof is actually necessary to conclude cats are the spawn of Satan and tolerate humans only to keep a reserve of flesh around in case times get tough? Not much for some of us, but it's a constant struggle to get the truth across. A case-in-point here comes from Folsom, California were an elderly driver was attacked about the face by her cat while driving her Toyota Solara, lost control, and crashed into an area diner. Nobody was seriously injured, but we would pay good money to watch that hidden camera footage. No kitty — no! That's a bad kitty! [SacBee]

You know, frequently when elderly people die at home, they are found a couple days later with some chunks missing and their cats just sitting there, smiling.
My dad never seems to get this through to my grandmother, who probably thinks the cats are going to tote her outside on a stretcher and dial 911.
Solara.
Old Lady.
Irate cat.
We have to share the roads with these elements among us? Damn!
No truth to the rumor that the car was pussy magnet yellow.....
Meow, I'm gonna have to give you a ticket on this one. No buts meow, it's the law!
My Father always warned me that there really was Bad Pussy (cats) out there.
Golly...He was right....
Maaaa! Kitty's being a dildo!
I know a certain kitty kitty that's sleeping with mommy tonight...
Let me get this straight: an idiot failed to safely restrain their pet while driving around in a two ton piece of heavy machinery, and an accident resulted.
Oh yes, by all means, let's blame the cat.
The first cat my wife and I had, Zippy, used to commute Seattle to Portland with me sometimes (wife kept her old job in Seattle for about the first half a year half year of marriage, even though we had a house in Portland.)
For about the first 10 minutes of the drive, Zippy did the usual nervous-cat thing and hid under the front seat, then figured "What the hell" and would spread out on the dashboard or the under the back window, depending on where the sunny spot was.
That was one relaxed cat. Never had an accident enroute, either.
@Sloop_John_B:
Meow have a nice day.
Crashing in to a diner was no accident. Cat was thinking "I can has cheezburger"
Seriously, cell phones are illegal, but old ladies in ill handling pseudo-coupes, bah, make that pseudo-handling sickly coupes are free to roam surface streets with live animals wandering through the cabin!?!?!
@weatherman: I'm thinking the cat would go for a tuna melt......
Is there something funny meow?
Well it can't be the old lady's fault.
She wanted to crash into the farmer's market.
soooo many LOLcat's i want to post right now!
"i can has steering wheel?"
or
"driving mizz kittah - ur doin it wrong!"
License and registration meow.
it was actually a team effort, a set up by an evil cat conspiracy:

Dr. Chris Cooper: [shouts] Cat on my head!
Awesome.. Cat attacks woman driving a Japanese auto, and tries to take out a Barbeque express!? This cat knew exactly what it was doing!
That's what happens when you don't let Toonces drive, lady.
the kittah suspect is currently in custody -

"How much proof is actually necessary to conclude cats are the spawn of Satan and tolerate humans..."
You have to remember that cats were once revered as Gods...and they haven't forgotten...

Darwin misses the mark by a cat hair.
@Euromobile: Since the lady is 70, I think she would be ineligible for a Darwin Award even if she had been killed.
@Mike the Dog: Possibly, but then again, surely any untimely death is a potential Darwin award? Unless of couse you subscribe to Sanjeev Bhaskar's life philosophy...
+ Watch video
My bet is they switched seats before the cops arrived. The cat was aiming for the dog on the sidewalk outside the diner and overshot...
The lady got off easy... If SNL's Toonces was driving, the car would've plummeted off of a cliff and/or exploded on impact...
Lady needs a "Cat in a Bag".
They can be launched from motorcycles as anti-pedestrian missiles ...

Both of our cats have traveled on the acreage of dashboard located in our diesel pusher motorhome. They have about 70K miles under their fur, and if they're not nudging my hand to get pet, like a dog, they're passed out, on their backs, asleep, in the sun, on the dash. Classic cat behavior.
Then again, you have idiot cat owners who've never heard of a carrier...
Taming. You're doing it wrong.
Reminds me of the time my wife and I were sitting on the couch, and my kid dropped an angry cat on the back of the couch between us...which hastily retreated from my child across my wife's face, clawing her lip in the process. My wife screamed and grabbed her mouth, to which I immediately replied: "What's wrong? Cat get your tongue?" She failed to see the humor though.
I clawed a woman in Folsom, just to watch her crash...
@boosted-lego-wagon: Is that Tom Cruise?
What can I say? All proper kittehs perfurr buicks!
@Novaload:
I see the cat has a bag of coke no?
@boosted-lego-wagon: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
