Let sleeping cats lie or prepare for revenge, a little girl found out the hard way.
The child was playing in a park in Eilat, Israel when she came across the white and ginger cat and decided to kick it.
When it didn’t rouse itself she stamps on its tail.
Objecting to this violent behaviour, the cat leaps up and chases the girl.
She runs backwards before turning around and screaming.
Despite the moggy losing interest the child continues to run and trips up on a concrete ledge, falling headfirst and tumbling to the ground.
The footage, filmed by a nearby man, ends there, not revealing if the girl was seriously injured.
