>>Wow.. Pinky is one tough cat!
The animal control guy should have known better: once the cat on a leash wound himself around the man's leg and got stuck, of course it was going to fight and bite. Let go, dude, and/or don't let it wind itself up on your leg. Have to say, the transformation from the alleged loving "pet of the week" to a biting wildcat was pretty cool.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
