Now I love cats me, but there was this time...
when I found what appeared to be a stray moggie on our backdoor step. Being a catlovin' kid I put out a bowl of mogchow for the beast and watched it tucking in. After a couple of moments I ventured to stroke said mog at which point it went apeshit and sank it's teeth into my forearm. I recoil in horror and surprise and in the process lift the cat from the ground for it will not release me from it's grip. OWww!
A swift karate chop to the neck caused the mog to open it's mouth even wider and I was free to be shunted off off to hospital for a tetanus shot. That was fun.

Now, thirty odd years later I still have the scars on my arm like some kind of weird vampire attack. (Which is what I always claim it was.) Didn't stop me from giving a hedgehog some milk a week or so later though. Maybe I shoulda been a vet?

Not wanting to rain your animal saving parade
but giving hedgehogs milk is actually very bad for them. You should give them cat food too.

Here endeth the animal service broadcast.
