Next doors cat was stuck in my garden as it couldnt climb any of my fences!! It looks like it may have been there all night.

Anyway, tried to pick it up to take it next door when the little git bit my blooming finger!!!!!! Aghhhhhh, pain and blood!! lol

In the end the neighbour was called and carried the little divil back home. Checked with my docs and i had a tetanus in 2009 so covered. I washed the tiny wound on my finger and poured TCP over it and put a plaster on!! Hope i dont get rabbies!! lol :D
 
That was a bit of a catlamity, not catastrophic though.

Still consider yourself lucky, if you had a bad reaction to it, it could have left you catatonic!


My work here is done.
 
There's nothing more unpredictable than a tired, scared and angry cat.

Approach them gently (no heavy footfalls), make yourself smaller and don't reach out immediately. (can you image what you'd do if a 24stone 12foot monster gallumped straight over to you and reached out two massive limbs at you?)
Hang out to the side of the cat and only make eye contact from the corner of your eyes, direct body to body or eye to eye is a confrontation.
Make your movements slow and gentle and talk quietly.

Having said that, even with those tips there's no guarantee the cat won't still go all psycho on you, but every little helps.

Just watch out for things like a propensity to get in peoples way, coughing up furballs or the need to lick your own ass while everyone is eating, that means you are infected.

What a silly way of doing it, by the scruff of the neck like its mother cat would do and theres no risk of it getting you that way, hand on stomach to stop if from scratching and it will be fine :p
