In a report, obtained by KETV, police said the victim "reportedly told the aggressive cat that she was going to 'put it in its room.'"
It added: "At this point, the cat became enraged and attacked."
Police added the victim had suffered "superficial" claw marks and needed to be taken to Nebraska Medicine for treatment, according to ABC-affiliated KETV.

Well, suffering superficial claw marksis a direct translation of the term 'being a cat owner'.

I agree with the last line, as the owner of two cats! Just in the course of playing sometimes. The little girl likes a game where she goes under a long tablecloth and we try tap our fingers on the other side and she tries to grab them from her side… I ended up buying cut proof gloves on Amazon for that game lol.
Good lord that was not a happy kitty I didn't watch the video with sound, but was that cat poop on the table toward the end? If so, the cat is like dementia patients I hear my psychologist/psychiatrist friends talk about
Back to the OP, one does run the risk of being attacked when breaking up a fight between two cats (as is what seems to have happened there).

I have two five-month-olds right now, got them at 10 weeks. As they've become more confident and more dexterous, they do less wounding. But it still happens. They're still in that part of their lives where they're constantly honing their fighting and hunting skills. Periodically, I get what I call a 'drive-by' from who I call the 'kitten mafia'. I'll just be walking through the house when one or both feet are suddenly assaulted by one or both of them, who then disappear in a blur just as fast as they appeared. As they get older and progressive become mellower and mellower (except for those occasional times when older kitty suddenly channels her inner kitten for a few minutes), the scratches become less common.
Back in the 1990s I had a job where I didn't get home from work until well after midnight. There was a cat I would sometimes see, and I began opening a can of food for it out by the garage. In time, it would eat as I watched, and then as I stood right next to it. After several weeks, I reached out to give it a rub ion the neck as it ate. The moment it felt my touch, it flipped over and began to maul my arm. I had seven deep puncture wounds to my hand and long bloody scratches on my forearm. I was literally dripping blood when I walked into the house.
That was a lesson to me. It was then I realized how much damage a cat could do when it wasn't holding back to some degree. And the reality is that even when Fluffy gets pissed off and takes a swipe at you, Fluffy is partly holding back. If you're not heading to the ER after an encounter, the cat was holding back.

Very true, my arms were just recovering from play bites from a pup, when a kitten came on board. He’s now five months, but still goes after fingers and hands. When he’s especially bad, I put him in his room for a time out, but he’s never attacked. Breed probably has something to do with it, he’s a Balinese, while the Japanese bobtails are much more polite.

Easy fix-- any stick-like object will do for this game, all cats love the 'what's behind the curtain?' game.

That's cruel. If a cat is known to be aggressive for vet appointments, then a little xanax type of relaxer beforehand is in order.
