>>>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.

Makes me wonder about the skill/training of the so-called animal control types. What a dumbass move, going after it with a box. Always have a few blankets handy when dealing with potential problem cats.

A cautionary tale: an acquaintance had a dog that *hated* thunderstorms. One day she left the dog in the back yard while she went to run some errands, and while she was gone there was a thunderstorm. The dog really, REALLY wanted to get into the house, away from the thunderstorm. With just its teeth and front claws, it ripped a hole in the cedar siding, through the exterior plywood sheathing, through the insulation and most of the way through the interior drywall by the time she got back home.

The dog was a female purebred Golden Retriever.
