Toe Eating Japanese Cat --?

JAPANTODAY.com reports an animal protection group on Wednesday questioned claims that an 88-year-old senile woman in a care facility in Saitama Prefecture had all the toes on her right foot bitten off by a cat last week.

Shizue Noda, who heads nonprofit organization Animal Support Mate, told a press conference that cats do not eat human toes and that their teeth are "not powerful enough to bite them off, bones and all." A 40-cm-long female cat was caught in the facility's grounds after the workers spotted bloody paw marks on the woman's bed and a similar cat with blood stains on its teeth.
