My cat just tired eating an assassin but and got bit in the mouth! She's foaming at the mouth and hiding right now... is there anything to do?
I think she said the cat was bitten not herself.Originally Posted by strange_wings
How did you manage to get bitten?

I believe it was a response to this post.Originally Posted by strange_wings
Really? Cause their second post said differently.
Well, that certainly explains why you'd be messing with them! Most people won't - the creepiest factor.Originally Posted by frogmanjared
She seems to be fine, thank god! She's going to the vet today to get spayed, so I'll mention it to them so they can check out her mouth.
I got bit while collecting for an entomology course a few years back... I hate handling bugs! I'm a little afraid of snakes too, but that hasn't kept me from keeping them as pets or catching them when I see one outside to see what it is.
