Taping a cat is never necessary and will result in stealthy murders. A cat actually can steal your breath; it just chooses not to, under ordinary circumstances. It will then eat you, combining revenge, survival, and autopsy obfuscation.

What did they think would happen if they bound the cat’s feet and how comfortable was that physically for the cat? How would they feel if someone they trusted suddenly bound them up? Then to think they could put the cat feeling so helpless and threatened in WATER?

And did removing the duct tape pull his fir off?
They may’ve had a better chance if they just overpowered once in the water.

Did you wrap their wounds in duct tape when done cleaning?

Anyway …a few years ago, my friend’s diabetic neighbor got a cat scratch from her cat. She got cellulitis, ended up with IV antibiotics in the hospital and died 3 days later.

In the 80s we used to put cat in a flee dip in bath. He always found a way to scratch, but my husband held him down. Then we ran when we were done so he could shake off. Always did it outside.

I think it is a law of the universe that if you bathe a cat …you will get scratched. And that Samari cat cry just as intended lethal scratch lands means fight on.

Stressed me out because the flee dip instructions said don’t inhale the dip, don’t let the dip hit your clothing or skin. Really? When bathing a cat? Then I got all paranoid when it landed on my skin. And of course you inhale being so close. I called poison control the first time. The directions SCARED me.

Btw – if it is that dangerous for humans …what did it do to the pet?
