That can happen with ANY animal though, even one with a spotless record. That's just something you have to understand if you want to own an animal, that they can bite if pushed far enough, no matter how sweet they are. You have to teach your kids that it's a living creature and not a toy they can pull on or throw around (not saying this is always the case, but kids can be rough sometimes, without even realizing it) and they have to be gentle, and if the animal is getting angry or stressed to leave them alone until they calm down (this can apply to everyone, not just children.)

This is absolutely true and I don't dispute it. But it doesn't change the fact that once an animal bites someone - even under stressful circumstances - any future owners are safer knowing that this is the case and that the animal in question requires extra attention and careful handling in situations like that. Wanting to get the cat adopted isn't a great excuse for hiding details about its history that could affect someone's decision. Giving someone a heads up is not just courtesy, it'll help ensure the cat goes to a person who understands its needs.

And you notice how philstar22 hasn't answered me? It's because she knows full well that there's a very good chance she could be legally at fault by failing to disclose this information, should that cat get stressed out and bite someone else and should they discover she failed to disclose this incident. Now mind you, she's safe so long as nobody finds out she got bitten, but unfortunately one of the shelter staff members was an eyewitness. philstar22 needs to hope that her co-worker didn't notice her bleeding and doesn't realize she wasn't telling the whole truth about how hard the cat bit her, or better yet that the co-worker forgets this incident entirely. She's looking at it from an emotional point of view, I'm merely pointing out the liability and risk.

DA

I don't know if philstar is affiliated with the shelter. Didn't she say she just visits for her own mental health?
