Is that an octopussy?

The tentacle-clad creatures were being kept in a paddling pool when the inquisitive moggy went for a closer look.

As it fished out the salty snack, the octopus hit back, wrapping its eight arms around the cat's face. 

The scaredy cat backs away, not knowing how to shake the pesky creature off its head.

After a lengthy protest, the marine animal eventually loses its grip and drops off. 

Undeterred, the feline goes in for another bite of the octopus while it lies on the floor.

But before it can do any real damage, an onlooker steps in and saves its life. For now at least.
