Funny read.
As someone who has been shredded by a cat (my patio looked like a crime scene), I totally agree with the caution. Lost a lot of blood, nearly fainted. That was the last cat I tried to rescue.
@AllThatJazzZ Oh,given enough time,they can tame themselves and be VERY friendly.
A good rule to follow is to avoid EVER picking up a strange cat. Sometimes it will be a mellow pet and you can get away with it,and other times it can become an explosion of fangs and teeth.
If the cat starts to snarl when you approach it,LEAVE IT ALONE!
