I do not condone killing cats unless they are feral and you have too many around. Barn cats.
I USED to love cats until I was taking care of, {food, water, shit boxes, etc.}, my best friends Old Ladies cats while they were on vacation, when I needed to move one of the Toms out of his room so I could clean it up, and he wasn't quite ready to move, apparently,to the room across the hall so I could do the clean up.
I had been around this cat for years and talked to him and petted him before I tried to move him, picked him up and handled him before the move to make sure he was good with it, going to a cleaned out room and everything was GTG as far as I could tell.
I had him in hand, petting and talking with him, purring until I reached out for the door knob and everything was OK until I reached for the doorknob, then ALL HELL broke loose.
The cocksucker bit me on my arm and hand and he had 20 claws on each paw that were going around at about 10,000 RPM.
I was tore up to say the least.
I did not let go as the damage had been done but did throw him against the far wall as hard as I could to dislodge the teeth and claws and the only way I knew he was alive was that his claws were trying to gain traction on the far wall as he slid down it.
Fast Forward--A trip to the ER as infection was setting in, Cat Scratch&Bite Fever were setting in and had a good hold on me.
Several trips to the ER and Dr. for IV antibiotics and in office drainage of the wounds and I was not gaining on the infection.
I ended up in the hospital for surgery where my Dr. told me,"I will clean this out as best I can but if it doesn't work I will have to amputate your lower arm." Oh Fuck, but I was hurting.
I still have my arm but it is kind of fucked up from the ordeal.
My advice to EVERYBODY is, If you get bit by a cat, Do not pass GO, do not collect $200, just take off to the ER right Goddamn NOW. Those cocksuckers have anaerobic shit in their mouths that WILL Fuck you up.
I still like cats and have a few feline friends but,--- I approach with caution and don't let them too close to me. FM
I was off from work for 5 weeks with this and swallowed pain pills like they were grapes with little results.
That hurt more than getting shot in the leg by an AK.
