There have been two incidents of my cat biting me so far.
*** Neither incident was the result of cruelty or torture. ***
*** I am not cruel to any animals under any circumstances! ***
Despite all of this, my cat and I are still friends.
He has never been punished for either incident, and never will be.
He is half Manx, after all..

| This is the bite wound to the back of my upper right arm. He urinated on the floor, so I rubbed his nose in it, then put him in the litter box. He then leapt up from the floor (a distance of over 5 feet) in order to bite me on the back of my upper right arm as soon as my back was turned. (In the end, it was my fault because the litter box was completely full, and he was protesting against my not cleaning it. We have since settled this matter.) |

| This is the puncture wound inflicted to my palm by his lower left canine. This happened about a week later, and was the result of my moving him into a new apartment which still reeked (to him) of the previous occupant's cats. I picked him up to calm him down, and he sunk his teeth into my left hand. This is the incident which sent me to the emergency room (due to infection setting in-- my hand was HUGE and had red streaks forming up the vein; I ended up on intravenous antibiotics.) Needless to say, Animal Control was concerned about the incident (until they found out it was my own cat that bit me) |

| This is the wound inflicted to the other side by his analogous upper left canine during the same incident. |

| This is what his claws did to my wrist while his vicious fangs were in my hand. I have many more scars on both my arms, all because of that crazy cat. |
