Reason #137 why we don’t own a cat…
Posted by Steve on October 28th, 2005No offense to your cat-lovers out there, but here’s the scenario: Man drops knife on foot. Knife cuts off toe. Man hops away to find a bandage and call for help. Cat sees new play-thing on kitchen floor, pounces on it, and absconds with toe, which is never to be seen again. You can read the short article here: Cat ran off with severed toe. I also thought this would be an appropriate entry given that Halloween is just 3 days away — knives, cats, severed toes… oh my! Anyway, just how do you relate to your beloved cat after it either ate (or did whatever) to your own toe? Eeeew.

Even if you *could* get it back from the dog, would you really want to? Even if it was your toe? Don’t things that come out of dogs’ mouths tend to be horrifically slimy and disgusting? (not that a bloody severed toe isn’t disgusting even without the dog slobber). On the other hand, the guy should have had the presence of mind to pick his toe up off the floor before leaving the room. I guess the massive loss of blood clouded his judgement.

At least you could get your toe back from a dog!

Like dogs wouldn’t do that do? Sheesh. You’re so speciesist.
