A pet sitter says she had to spend four days in hospital and has been scarred for life after being attacked by a cat she was looking after. Janice Pinto says Haze pounced as she stroked his head and sank his teeth inf.
Janice, 25, needed 14 stitches and was admitted to hospital with a soaring temperature when the wound became infected. She needed three weeks off work to recover following surgery to clean the wound and kill the infection, reports The Mirror.
Janice said: “I petted him on the head, turned around and felt a sharp, deep scratch just above my elbow. “I looked at the cat and asked, ‘Are you OK?’ and went to pet his head again – and he just clung on to my arm and kept coming back and back.
