The snaggle toothed tabby was a barn cat that I found 2 miles from where it lived. It ran for it's life that night. It's owner has been notified.



Cat bites ain't no joke. Good thing I have a job that pays my medical expenses. That's gonna leave a scar.

It must have been terrified or mad.
Our one cat "he is dead from old age now" freaked out at cats at the window once.
He did not see me coming, so when I tried to pick him up from behind he freaked out and bit me on the fingertip

Those teeth are so sharp it may as well be surgical. Took about a year for the little puss ball inside the bite to work its way out through the skin again.

They are definitely terrified. The owner was there calling him. He'd meow back but wouldn't come down the hill. We had to go up and get him. Trying to stuff a freaked out Maine Coon into a cage is quite the feat.

Oooh , that's gonna hurt.
Those teeth are quite toxic.
I had to teach my wife to stop taking things away from the cats before they eat them (stupid city cats, they only catch geckos), because the bite is so bad, whatever you think you saved is going to die somewhere of a septic wound.

The infection started within a few hours. Within 12 my hand was that swollen. The antibiotics I got knocked it down just as fast. Amazing what a pill can do.

A nurse friend of mine explained it pretty well ...
"Cats lick their butts."
... enough said.

Don't bother they were already given the advanced class with lessons on properly camouflaging a trap and not getting their extremities gnawed upon.

I've found plastic bags rustle too much. Leaving traps uncovered allows for the scent to spread further. The trap in my last picture is missing the back and the front is tied open. That's a whole other lesson. More of an "advanced" technique.

We need to build a few giant spiral pipes circulating the earth. We can use this to bring water to where it is needed and from where there is too much at any given time.
