I was dumb and assumed since it was a kitten it would be okay. Lesson learned, those ~4-5 month old kittens can be just as dangerous as the big ones.

Yep, I added leather gloves to my list so I can get some to leave in the truck. We normally have a blanket over the back seat because of the dogs but I had taken them out to wash them. Lots of lessons learned!

I mean this is TIFU, there’s a lot of alcoholics in here. I’m not exactly concerned about kids like you who are triggered when they read my comments.

Alcohol tolerance is not static, there’s a variety of factors that affect tolerance as well as absorption rate. When I was drinking daily I was able to take 5 shots in a row just fine in the middle of the day without blacking out. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be blackout drunk if I took 5 shots now at the same weight given that I drink 1-2 beers once or twice a year, almost always the second one is because the first one got warm. It’s not uncommon for people to overestimate their tolerance to alcohol.

Years later is enough time to change completely, hell I would say a month is enough to change a person completely, especially that it happened during lockdown and people can play with your mind, so no, the fact that the girlfriend acted the same suggests nothing.

When I was 110 lbs, 5 drinks in 2 hours wouldn’t even get me blackout. I was extremely lightweight compared to everyone I known…
And we are talking about 185 lbs, no medications, ate well, someone who drinks… Op was either drugged or had a breakdown.
Please go see a doctor op, it’s always a good thing to double check. Girlfriend prolly was shocked and confused. Hopefully she’ll overcome that and support you to seek help

Happened to a buddy of mine. Worse night of his life he said.

Do you know the actual difference between a.boat and a ship?

It's usually an announcement, "Rig ship for lady visitors. Lady visitors will be onboard until further notice." And requires OOD permission to bring them onboard. And the area OP ran into them was a public passage way.

Yeah, I'd definitely try to get some antibiotics. Cat bites are little needles of bacteria.
At the very least little kitty is no longer under a tire. That's so sucky, but it was a good effort.
Tip if you ever have to do it again: use thick leather gloves, grab by the scruff right off the bat, and wrap them into a kitty burrito with whatever towel or jacket you have on hand.

As someone who's had cats for many many years, I am still leary about approaching what may be feral kittens. If the kitten doesn't tear you to shreds then kitten's mom very well might.

Yep. I have multiple family members in the medical field and when they saw my hand they said I should probably get it checked out. Would much rather have an urgent care bill over and ER bill though, so going tomorrow.

Aye, lesson learned. I already added leather gloves to my list to leave in the truck.

Not a bright idea.

Go get your wounds checked by medical personnel.

Thank you for doing so much to help the cat. Cat bites have a tendency to get badly infected. If you notice any redness or warmth around the bites and scratches please go to an urgent care as soon as possible.

Every time I've been bitten or clawed by a cat it's been infected. Keep it clean, use antibiotic ointment, and when where are you being clawed gets to the size of baseball glove then go in for IV antibiotics. Bless you for trying. Lesson well learned. Next time wear gloves.

I've got at least 6 mousers that hang around my house constantly, trust me they move out from under the vehicle when it starts up - especially when the car has a big V8 like mine does LOL
