It was about 6 years ago, I had a stray that found his way to my front door in the middle of a storm. Of course I feed him and he hung around our front deck, never to far away, but never would let us hold him, we could touch....but never hold. We named him Mooch, because he mooched food.
Anyway, one day I was leaving the house and Mooch was stitting on the deck railing, as always waiting to mooch food. When I turned my back to lock the front door all h#%l broke out. Mooch jumped on the middle of my back, claws out, climbing his way up to my head. I reached to pull him off me and as I did he bite my little finger. I mean bit it hard, broke the skin, blood pouring out of my finger. Then as I was tring to get him off, he swated at my face. He caught my chin and hung on to it. I hated doing it but at this point I had a bloody finger and a bloody chin, SO I had to just tose him on the deck floor.
I had to go to the hospital and get stitches in my little finger. He bit so far down that he bit a nerve in my finger and I had no feeling in the tip for a good while. My chin also got stitches, and that the scare that is more noticable. And there one small hole in my cheek from a claw.
As for Mooch, we had to call animal control, they wanted to watch him for signs of Rabbies. The woman that came out was scare to death of Mooch.....she made my husband get him. He made a sound I have never to this day heard a cat make.
I know I should'nt have done it, but I told animal control that he had his shots, I didn't want them to put him down to find out. They held him for two weeks to look for signs of rabbies. I went there every day to feed him, he didn't like the food they gave him. At the end of the two weeks my then husband said lets go get him. He thought it was cool to have a Attack cat. Mooch lived here till he passed last year and he always had a tude. We did have to make one home owners ins. claim because of him. He attacked a friend of mine, not as bad thank goodness. But we loved him all the same. I miss that guy.
We found out he hated the smell of "Snuggle" and thats why we belived he attacked me. No Snuggle in our home again.
FYI....We did get his shots the day we picked him up from animal control.
