If you chewed on my ear like you did that poor old cat I would hide behind the woodpile too! LOL We have a retired friend "Sunny" that took in a female stray for company. Now he has 28 cats and kittens. He loves them all!
9 of my 10 have that chewed on ear and it cost me a lot of money for them to get that. Hemi was a TNR before I got him so he just got the normal vet visit.
