My cousin is a vet, when at school the prof said those with pets bring 'em in for class to practice on.
Well no surprise a cat and a German Shepherd got into a scrap. Now the cat being declawed in the front might have you betting on the GSD? Cat is no dummy,she wraps her front legs around the dog's neck where the dog couldn't get to her and then used her back legs, with claws, to rake the dog's belly. Requiring 176 stitches, everyone got lots of practice.
