Title: Big cat bites Santa during photo shoot at NJ store

I don't know why, but just the headline alone made me giggle. Only at Christmas can one find stories of exploding inflatable decorations and mishaps involving holiday cooking and nudity.  :cheersmate:

In that case, this one's for you.  :)

Quote from:
HAMILTON TOWNSHIP, N.J.  — Santa Claus posed with a very large kitty on his lap — and now, unfortunately, he might need rabies shots. Jonathan Bebbington was playing the jolly old elf during a Santa Paws photo event at a PetsMart store when he was bitten Sunday on the wrist and hand. The event was to raise money for Penny Angel's Beagle Rescue group.

The cat and owner disappeared after the incident. At least one person thought it was a bobcat, said Joan Kerr, president of Penny Angel's.

"It had absolutely huge paws, like 3 inches around," Kerr said.

The cat, named "Benny," appeared terrified because dogs were nearby, Bebbington, 47, told The Press of Atlantic City.

"It had very powerful jaws and big teeth," he said, estimating the cat weighed about 30 pounds.

The woman who brought it to the store told people there she bought the cat from a breeder in Wyoming for $1,500.

"Her last words were, `I have a permit and the cat has all his vaccines,' " Bebbington said.
