Little do they know but I use my secret cat/bat sonar to
hunt them down. Who needs eyes? |
What makes Badger so mean?
The picture is of Badger, an
"office cat" at my work place - The Cat Doctor of Maine. (It's a
vet, but as the name specifies, we only care for cats.)
Badger was brought into The Cat Doctor at the age of apx. 6 months
old with two major problems:
1. A stray kitten, his fur was falling out from a staph infection
he had picked up on the streets.
2. Well meaning people who caught him and tried to treat him for
the above had put a homeopathic solution on his head, which in
turn got into his eyes, blinding him.
Since the people who had initially caught and tried to treat him
didn't want to have to deal with a blind cat, they signed him over
to The Cat Doctor. I've been told (as I wasn't here at the time)
that, over the next 6 months, Badger ended up losing ALL his fur
and getting painful boils all over his body.
With daily treatments, he finally grew all his fur back and his
eyes were eventually removed for his comfort, but he has never
forgiven the humans who hurt him. Employees and customers alike
get treated to his nasty attitude, especially those who make the
mistake of petting him without "asking" first! Since he's never
been declawed and has all his teeth, he can be a formidable beast
even if he has to hunt you down by smell.
And Badger WILL hunt you down - especially when we have to knock
him out to clean wax out of his ears or give him his annual exam.
Anyone foolish enough to speak, even while he's fully asleep, will
suffer his wrath as soon as he's awake again and mobile!
Blind or sighted, Badger is one of the meanest mean kitties I've
ever met!Photo submitted by: Debi
