1. well, that is one gentle cat

I usually get told by a deep hard bite.

2. I get told by my cat latching on to my arm

Biting and scratching and drawing blood! He is NOT subtle.

3. He's very patient, I have to say...

Usually teeth and claws get in the act.

5. I have a scar on my hand from a cat I petted 30 years ago.

My fault. The owner warned me his cat was schizo.

The cat purred and purred and then BAMM!!!
