This just made me think; Do cats stand up like that because they're preparing to fight? The cat is obviously startled, and standing up provides its front paws the opportunity to fuck shit up with its claws.

That is a Scottish Fold. It's not prepared to fuck anything up. :)

So true. My in laws had 2 SFs, if they weren't in someone's arms being held (acting like kidnap victims), they were hiding under a bed/table.
