Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2004Shrews are bendy
Warning. If you get home late after an evening out with friends, and find three of your cats sitting in a close triangle staring intently at one part of your rowing machine, do not reach down blindly with your hand to see if you can feel anything, because a pair of invisible incisors will bite repeatedly on your fingertip causing pain and alarm. Also. Do not pick up small, very annoyed shrews by their tails, for they are bendy and will climb up their own bodies in order to bite you (again). Deb.

This is a non-sequitur if I've ever seen one. What does Oprah have to do with anything?

Being stared at by 3 cats probably didn't help his mood either. Deb.

I hope that you don't have any serious side effects from being bitten. I have to admit I'm impressed that you stuck with the shrew long enough to pick it up after it bit you the first time. I think I would have found Selena's favorite hiding spot under the bed if it had happened to me.

My incentive for sticking with it was the thought of it being resident in the flat otherwise, maybe in our large and well-stuffed sofa, or maybe in our bed :-o Deb.

It's incredible how incisors so small can hurt so much, isn't it? You saved the cats from a vomit anyway, eating shrews always make them puke. I did this once as a small child, maybe 5. A cat was trying to get a mousie that had taken refuge a foot up in a small hedge in my grandfather's garden. I didn't hesitate, put my hand into the hedge, grasped the mouse to rescue it and OUCH! Ungrateful creature ;-) I've never forgotten it. First and last time. Tweed > ROFL! Sorry. It's incredible how incisors so small can hurt so much, isn't > it?

Yes - I think that's why they hadn't actually eaten it - it's not the first one they've caught. > I did this once as a small child, maybe 5.

Nor should you pick up the mouse toy from your bedside rug in the morning, before turning on the light and finding your glasses. Ewwww....
