I wonder if the cat is/was rabid?
doesn't like the camera I think.
I had another who had to be sedated just to be examined. I hear those "cats from hell", as we call them, at the vet's all the time.
I doubt that kitty had rabies. But what really irks me about it is the people videotaping, who are aggravating the poor thing.
He has a collar, which means he is someone's pet. I bet he is terrified and just needs to be left alone in a dark room for a while.
More than likely it is feral. Not a big deal as it can be tamed fairly easy. It will not last long at a shelter though.
I dropped off a feral kitten at a local shelter once. Changed my mind a couple hours later and went back to reclaim it. To late as they had already put it to sleep. So much for compassion and a 2 week stay to live. Ticked me off, F'im, cold day in h**l before I take another one there.
