I work with feral (not strays- feral means aggressive and scared/no human interaction at all/hissing spitting and biting and wants you dead) cats and sometimes they get out of traps. I had to catch one before she got out into the rest of the house, so I threw a blanket over her, armed these gloves, and scruffed her- except I missed her scruff and she whipped around and grabbed my hand. Hurt horribly but it only bruised instead of going through it.However, there is a puncture in the glove now so a bite through the same hole (albeit unlikely) would get to my hand.As with anything like these gloves don't use them as primary protection! You always need to have handling skills and other precautions, they're last defense for accidents like above where my hand shouldn't have been in her line of attack at all.
