About Cat Self Defense Keychains

Cat self defense keychains are stylish handheld self-defense tools designed in the shape of a cat's face or other animal's face that can be used to fight off an attacker or as a daily fashion accessory.

Cat Self Defense Keychains Origins and History

Cat self defense keychains originated in China in the early 2010s as a practical and stylish way for women to defend themselves. Instead of resorting to more violent tools or intimidating looking weapons, the cat ear safety keychains were created as a middle ground between a lethal weapon and being unarmed.

Over the years, cat self defense keychains have gained tremendous popularity due to the same reasons they were originally created - they are carried more as a stylish everyday accessory, and can be used as a last option for self defense.

Cat Ear Safety Keychains Sizes, Shapes and Materials

Cat head keychains are normally 4 to 6 inches in length, 2-3 inches in width, and contain hollow eyes for you to put your fingers through for grip and stabilization. Some are larger, thicker, and heavier to give the user a firmer and more stable grip, while others are smaller, thinner and more lightweight to allow easier carrying and handling.

Cat head defense keychains are made from metal, hard plastic or other durable materials like hard rubber, silicone, resin or recycled materials. They have sharp points for ears that function as the defensive striking features. They also sometimes have spikes, grooves, or hooks which supplement the keychain's defensive capabilities.

Cat Self Defense Keychain Uses

Cat ear keychains have one main use and that is to use them as a defensive tool in your punches and slashes. The user would grip the cat ears with their fingers through the eye sockets and the sharp ears pointing outwards, and use the cat ear keychain in a variety of motions and techniques to fend off unwanted aggressors such as:

• Striking - a user can strike an attacker while wearing the cat ear keychain with a quick and powerful blow to stun or incapacitate them and allow them to escape
• Slicing - a user can slice an aggressor in a left-to-right horizontal motion, diagonal motion, or up-and-down vertical motion to slash the aggressor, cause pain and injury, and then flee the scene
• Stabbing - a user can stab the sharp tips of the cat ears into the vulnerable fleshy parts of a predator's body such as the eyes, face, or throat
• Gripping/Pulling - the sharp pointy cat ears can be used to grip or pull the attacker
