when I was a 7 year old kid, I foolishly tried to become blood brothers with a big orange tom cat. Well, he of course went crazy and started screaming and scratching at me. Worst thing was I couldn’t escape because my hand was tightly tied to his paw, so I just screamed and spun in circles while this crazy tom cat tied to my hand continued to howl, bite and claw.
Not only did you survive, you never did that again. ;-)
LOL thanks for the visual.
