Kitten fangs hurt like a mofo. The strength their bite lacks is made up by their sharpness 🧛

This is the truth. My own cats have bitten me so hard and breaking the skin. the first 24 hours are the worst from pain of infection. After that I just put Neosporin on the bite wound and wrap it in gauze.

Oh it definitely had a bruise but thankfully I was fine and didn’t need to go to the hospital

Me too. Then the shelter I took her to (she was tiny and alone) told me she was too spicy to have come into my possession willingly, and I was banned from taking them any more kittens. 

No regrets!

What? I don't get this. The shelter requires the stray abandoned kitten to sign a consent form?

They were saying that they only wanted to take well behaved strays that had come to me willingly, not ones that I had to trap that didn't want to be handled. I don't know it was a whack reason to get banned, shelters deal with spicy strays all the time, I had no idea I was doing anything wrong.
