& then there's The Hubby (tm)'s first pet who was a sweet little poodle - who DID react to being groomed the way that owner said his cat would - and all because the previous owners had maltreated it. Tiger would definitely have taken your arm off - or a good chunk out of your hand. There were groomers who pooh-poohed the warning - only to announce, wide-eyed, when they came to pick him up, "Wow, we actually had to sedate him!"
"Just like we said," was always the muttered response.
Yeah, it's a shame anyone hurts animals; I'm just glad there are people like my husband who are there to "make it all better."
