Ever caught one of the monsters?

A few years ago My cat was playing with my steelhead rod & got hooked in the paw..it was around 2 am when I heard banging. Then I noticed blood on the carpet & my rod on the floor, he was hiding behind my backpack, anyways he hooked himself good. Luckily I was prepared in my pack with wire cutters & cut the hook in half, pulled it out put some Neosporin in his ouwie & went back to bed.
