Oh yeah....
If you could have seen my Dad... I came up from playing outside, and there
he was with a huge bowl of hot bloody water, and a hot bloody towel wrapped
around one arm.... in the other hand, a hammer, should that cat come
anywhere near him again.
I already had a cat at that point, my beloved Jon-Jon, New York City tom cat
from a pet store, declawed, but not lacking for dignity. I think he weighed
in at about 13 lbs. He was a guard cat, and a total love, and I swear he
could read. (I wrote "I love Jon-Jon" on my chalk board, and he started
purring.) Jonnee would never think of hurting a person as long as no one
tried to hurt me.
Aside from that Siamese, I've been blessed with some truly wonderful cats
over the years.

Not a medical professional, was he? Jeez, no wonder it got so bloody.
Heat makes you bleed!

I thought he was the one who adopted the cat in the first place...

Yes - but it also draws out the potential infection from dirty claws.

He was... he just had some serious second thoughts about the cat once it
tried to rip his arm off....

Well, now you know the truth... I'm not a medical professional, either. :)
