They should be fine, they were chased immediately to urgent care to get cleaned and prescribed antibiotics, but damn

The first was the actual groomer, the second was the coworker that went after it with the bite buster gloves. Spoiler, those gloves don't work on cats nearly as well as they do on dogs. Also, the cat literally ripped the glove off of her and bit her a second time.

The urgent care doc told them not to lift anything over five pounds for the next few days which means they won't be coming in for work at all.

Animal control came in for all the necessary procedures, too. orz

oh geez. poor guys :<

I hope nobody tries to like. put the cat down, though...

I don't imagine it'll come to that, there's a several strikes kind of thing and it's not like it was unprovoked. The cat freaked out at the sound of water and went into a SUPER fight or flight mode

It'll probably be home-quarantined and checked up on again later. It had zero aggression beforehand, let the groomer trim its nails and put softpaws on even. It was only the introduction of water that led to the fiasco

oh good. that was the first thing I was afraid of when the urgent care had to make a bite report on Misty. I'm glad a double bite at a groomer isn't any worse than what actually happened!

guess that cat isn't coming in to get groomed again tho

Yeah, no baths for it without sedation, and that's a thing vets have to do.

It was only a 9 month old, so, adult size but still a baby. It was a hella scary moment and our groomer gals have sore, swollen hands, but they've gotten the requisite care and they'll be back... though I won't be surprised if the "collateral damage" girl never tries to help with a cat again. I've never seen her as badly shaken as she was

oh no, still a baby, yeah. I hope collateral damage girl does try to help again, though. it would be sad for her to wind up afraid of cats :<
