Getting Catty

I’ve come to the conclusion that cats are insane.  I was over at a friend’s house last night for a birthday party.  She has a large cat that is generally pretty friendly.  I was petting the cat and scratching its back, which it seemed to like, when it suddenly bit me (and it wasn’t a little play-bite either, as it drew blood).  What causes a cat to go from happy to biting like that?

All I can conclude is that cats are not to be trusted.  They’re sneaky little devils and you never know what they’re going to do.  I’ve always preferred dogs to cats (although I don’t hate cats), and this is just one more thing that reinforces that.  A happy dog isn’t going to bite you while you’re petting it.

    Aubrey, cats are the reason the .22 LR cartridge was invented.

    I found you through Kim du Toit. The Camp gun is sweet to shoot.

    Was this a girl cat? If so you might congratulate yourself for turning the lady on with your stroking. This could be a reaction to arousal. I know this because I was petting my neighbor’s giant calico cat and she whipped around and put her canine teeth almost all the way through my hand. I didn’t get cat fever and I am glad I am not a tomcat.

    Good to me you,

  3. I don’t think that applies in this case, since the cat is a neutered male.
