I'm just happy to know natural selection is alive and well.

Seriously? You're told to be careful because it's feral and your first thought is "No way it's dangerous"?

Word of advice, when you're being trained at a new job, it's best to listen to the person who is training you. They've been there a while, so they know the place better than you. You deserve every bit of it.

Surprise. Even small, cute animals can mess you up if you give them a reason to. Maybe next time, listen when you're told not to touch an animal.

You are completely ******* stupid. You deserve it, and probably whatever the cat has transferred to you. I hope you get fired for your idiocy.

Well guess you learned a valuable lesson. Bet you won't do that again will you

You're kind of a moron. If a cat's feral or even just mean you always wear gloves, no matter how big it is because size doesn't determined how sharp their claws are or how much they'll want to tear you apart. It could've easily nicked that big artery in your wrist. Also, when in training it's usually a good idea to listen to people who know what they're doing. Dumbass.

Idiot, listen to the people who know what they're talking about. Now that kitten likely has to be put in quarantine.

When an animal is feral, chance are it won't take well to people. Before volunteering in an animal shelter make sure you have had real experiance with animals.

As someone who works in a shelter, you should have been fired on the spot. You always have to be super cautious and follow all rules when around unknown animals. You are going to get yourself and probably some animals hurt too. Shame on you OP.
