This was my best showerthought I left on reddit. I didn’t want to leave it into the oblivion.

    True story. One of my employees cats gave birth while she was working. Her boyfriend arrived home first and upon noticing the cat, went to check out the kittens. Well apparently the cat, who was always friendly prior, went absolutely cujo. The guy was wearing shorts and the cat just attached to his legs and shredded him. Apparently he like booted the cat a few times but it just kept coming at him. He ended up locking himself in the bathroom and had to climb out a window. The cat actually nicked an artery in his leg and he was bleeding significantly. Had to go to emergency. Apparently the bathroom looked like a war zone from what I was told.

    Anyhow my cats always been good.

      It’s never a good idea to go near any animal that has just given birth. Since they were vulnerable for a time, they likely kick it up a notch, plus babies to protect. It’s even a crapshoot if the bonded person can come close.

      We had a cat that right after she gave birth, for the next two weeks she had a serious weird craving for sliced cucumber LOL! I mean seriously, she’d attack us for it while we were trying to slice it up for her.

      After about two weeks, just as suddenly as her strange craving started, it almost just as suddenly stopped and she went back to only eating typical cat food like a normal kitty.

      Cats be weird yo. 😺

          It was kind of a freak accident really. We rarely kept any cucumbers in the house, but this time we just so happened to have one because we were gonna make a salad.

          The cat happened to be in the kitchen when we started slicing it, and she smelled it and basically went batshit crazy going after it LOL! So, we sliced up about a quarter of it for her, and ended up getting her a couple more cucumbers from the store and each day we’d slice her some up around feeding time, until she lost the craving anyways.

      Holy frijoles. I can’t put a good spin on that, other than… I wish Shittywatercolour (a random redditor artist) had painted a pleasant drawing for you instead of my comment here.

    Mine will just bite your toes, but apart from that they are pretty mellow. Although one does bite my wifes ankles when she (the cat) is hungry.

    Well if the mods didnt immediately delete it in reddit it must be at least a mediocre showerthought /s
