It was a misdemeanor offense until 2006, but it generally amounts to a felony now. Attacking a cat implies an act of intentionally and maliciously injuring or mutilating an animal, and that sort of conduct constitutes a non-person felony under the revised version of section 21-4310 of the Kansas statutes.

It depends on what you consider attacking, but if you violently harm the cat in a way that it is injured, it can be a felony of animal cruelty.

It depends entirely on how you "attack" it. In most areas, severe cruelty to animals is a felony, so if by "attacking" you mean "doing something terrible to," then yes.
