Today, I tried to scare what I thought was a stray cat away from my friend's car in our work parking garage by hitting the panic button on his keys, which did, indeed, make the creature panic. That's when I learned it was not a cat. It was a skunk. FML

In the area I live and work it's very possible that a stray cat will be less than healthy. And as I own two cats I also don't want to carry fleas or ticks home to them. Also, and mostly this I think, I don't want to be attacked by a rabid animal- Adorable kitten or otherwise.

There's a question being asked trying to figure out whether cats or skunks are better at sex? Oh, Internet, you never fail to surprise.

49 - So you live in medieval times? Y. pestis is NOT a common microbe in any part of the world anymore, thanks to improved hygiene practices. If there was a place where an outbreak of the Black Plague arose, it would be huge news and both the CDC and the WHO would be all over it. You clearly know nothing about microbes.

Whether you guys want to believe it or not New Mexico has about 3 people hospitalized with the plague every year. Look it up yourself if you don't believe me. A cat in my town was found to have it a couple of years ago. It was all over the news

Just looked it up. There were a few cases reported in NM since 2009, but it was only 12 people. The odds of getting bubonic plague are extremely low, not "very common".

That's horrible #45! RIP black kitten, I love cats so it's hard for me to hear a cat, especially a kitten, die. ;(
