It was a stray, and I pitied it because it was skinny. I started
giving it food out in front of the apartment, and I'd pet it and it'd
nuzzle me. Once, I let it inside because we were having a little 15
minute thunderstorm. I fed it and pet it, and when it was time for it
to leave, I opened the door and tried to coax it. Next I tried to
gently shoo it out. Finally, I picked it up, and it lit into me in a
very bloody way.

I am not concerned with fault of any of that, which I consider
nonsense when an animal attacks a human. I like cats. I'm a cat
person, but an animal who bites with that ferocity is a threat to our
species.
