Rescue mission for a cat in Salzburg! A tomcat suddenly attacked its owner – with painful consequences, the ‘Krone’ reported. The head of the animal rescue now says: “Cat bites can be dangerous.”
He looks so cute and sweet in the photos – but the furry pooch has a lot going on and has even taken his owner to the hospital. This is what Oswin Mair from the Austrian Animal Protection Society tells us in the “Krone” interview. “The thing was almost unbelievable at first; at first we thought it was a joke. But it was actually a dramatic incident.”
Bite on the leg
A woman from Salzburg, living in the Anifer district of Niederalm and mother of two children, fell victim to her hangover last weekend. He suddenly attacked the woman and bit her leg, says Mair: “He really gritted his teeth. The woman immediately sent her two children to their grandmother and barricaded herself in the nursery.” She even put a chair under the door handle and locked herself in. “Because the cat knew how to open doors,” says Mair. Then the animal rescuers quickly reached the apartment, they chased the animal onto the balcony.
The animal rescuers then called the Red Cross because of the wound: “We were also afraid that the wound could become infected, as is often the case with cat bites.”
Bacteria in the animal’s mouth
The reason for this, as Mair explains, is bacteria in the animal’s mouth. And such inflammation actually occurred in the affected woman. The cat owner received appropriate medical care. She has now been able to leave the hospital.
The fighting cat came to the vet. He is still housed there. “She will be neutered there because this has not happened yet.” It is not yet entirely clear whether the cat can go home after the attack on his wife: the decision lies with the cat owner. “It is possible that a friend will take over the cat.” That remains to be seen.
