Kids woke me up last night around 11 because of a cat crying outside their window. I went outside and see a kitten (not a baby, but also not a full grown adult) in the tree about 7 feet up. I figured it was scared and couldn’t get down, so I reached up to try to help it. Turns out the cat’s leg somehow got wedged between 3 branches, and the cat was hanging upside down by its leg. As soon as my arm was in reach, it latches on and started biting me. It sunk its claws in my arm, and I couldn’t get away. It bit my hand pretty bad a few times, my wrist, and forearm. I was punching it, choking it, and eventually just ripped it off my arm, which left my arm all bloody. Put some oven mitts on, got a stepladder, and eventually freed the cat. Threw it in a wire cage I had in the garage. Wife is taking it today to a vet or somewhere for observation/testing. If I mysteriously disappear from Sherdog, it might be the rabies. RIP Lubaolong.

Died doing what he loved.


I found out the hard way as well that you have to wear the right gear. The neighbor’s cat was stuck on her roof, so I grabbed a ladder and pulled it off and boy howdy did the little fucker lash out. Thankfully it was late fall so I came out of that mostly unscathed.

Cat?
Nuke it from orbit. Only way to be sure.
 
Should've thrown it into a wood chipper instead.
 
That sucks for both you and the cat, if you aren’t up to date on your tetanus get that ASAP and keep an eye on the bites. They get infected super easily, I’ve only had to go to the doctor twice from animal bites and both times it was from a domestic cat.

it most likely doesn’t have rabies, but due to it being a feral and unless it has a microchip it will probably be euthanized and have the head sent in for rabies testing.
 
You're a good person. One scratch and I'd be like "fuck you then" and leave him in the tree.

I'm hardcore, I may take shit from my boss, my peers, general strangers, and children, but I draw the line at kittens.
 
Next time your kids wake you up try this instead

Feral cats are no joke. They're essentially wild animals.
 
Hilarious!

Cats are motherfuckers. Couple months ago my daughters' kitten wouldn't come out from under their bed; fucker bit me and jerked my hand back and the kitten came with it. Was hanging from hand, somehow stuck until I grabbed its neck.
