The last time we cats bit a human, it was because we were in the midst of being medicated. The human's finger was between our sharp little teeth and we just chomped. What can we say? The human should have been more careful.
We weren't against the medication, mind you — any more than the human was against the medication she received in the wake of this unfortunate incident. It included a round of antibiotics and a tetanus shot, and was gladly taken. Because you never want to mess around with tetanus.
But tell that to the parents in Oregon whose unvaccinated six-year-old child ended up in the hospital with tetanus for nearly two months — unable to open his mouth, on a ventilator and squirreled away from any stimuli that might aggravate his muscle spasms.
Oh, and he racked up an $800,000 bill. Unclear who's paying for it.
Here's what drives us crazy. Even after the kid's agonizing hospital stay, the parents are refusing further shots.
Isn't that child abuse? At the very least, we cats hope that in 12 years or so, that unfortunate boy is able to get away from those disgusting flat-earthers who call themselves parents, find his own apartment, get his vaccinations and join the 21st century. We're rooting for him. In the meantime, we HISS.
