SAITAMA - An animal protection group on Wednesday questioned claims
that an 88-year-old senile woman in a care facility in Saitama
Prefecture had all the toes on her right foot bitten off by a cat last
week.

Shizue Noda, who heads nonprofit organization Animal Support Mate, told
a press conference that cats do not eat human toes and that their teeth
are "not powerful enough to bite them off, bones and all." A 40-cm-long
female cat was caught in the facility's grounds after the workers
spotted bloody paw marks on the woman's bed and a similar cat with
blood stains on its teeth.
