Video of Cat Attacking NY Celebrity Goes Viral

I love cats but they can be real jerks. Their attitudes are too hot and cold for some. One minute you're scratching them under their chin and the next minute they're scratching you under your chin. My cats love being on camera but everyone has their shy moments.

A regional celebrity learned that lesson the hard way with her new cat named Pumpernickel.

Some New Yorkers in the Capital Region know Kylie McDonald as a New York State Lottery host, but a lot of people are getting to know her as a victim of a feline assault.

"I was just trying to get a cute video of him, but apparently he hates the camera".

The video that only lasts seconds has generated over 7 million views in just two days after it was shared on Barstool Sports.

Have you ever had a cat snap like this?
