    My cats never attack me. Probably cause they’re never bored. Big wild yard with lots of plants and trees. Lots to do. Lots of neighborhood cats visiting. They live a life of privilege. Now city cats on the other hand… you wanna keep one in an apartment, you better be working full-time entertaining that thing.

      Yeah, my wife scooped up two black cats off the street and brought them home 12 years ago. One, Rudi (RIP) was the temperamental one, she would come lay on your lap but if you brushed her too many times she’d get pissed off. The other, Bruce Willis, is the coolest motherfucker alive, a real credit to his namesake. Rudi might go as far as my porch, but Bruce is a neighborhood wanderer.

      That being said, Bruce has been in fights with other animals many times sometimes winning, sometimes losing, always really loud and in the middle of the night and I have to wake up and sort things out. Rudi got in one fight because we forgot her on the porch. Poor Rudi. She would later swallow something and it killed her. She was a pain in the ass but we still loved her.

    I mean my cats come to keep the dogs in line via slap when they get into trouble, it’s kind of a problem tbh.

    Cat bites are no joke, I was recently bitten by one and my arm hurt for almost two weeks. Not sure if putting on a tourniquet was the best idea, but tbf I did think I was gonna bleed to death without it, so that seemed more important than disinfection. Fortunately took only ~15min to have it seen by a doctor and get prescribed anti-biotics.

    Cat bites are particularly nasty if one actually attacks. I’ve never been bitten, but my mom has working at a vet for so long. Their bites are no joke and often cause infection. If bitten, you’re basically already dead.
