Fucking cats, man, part 2

[gwyn]

My kitty Blues (the same one who caused me such much suffering last summer with the bite) sliced my cheek open last night. I guess now I'll finally have that Heidelberg Fencing School dueling scar I always wanted.

Oh my God! I'm so sorry.

Ugh! Was it on purpose? I'm so sorry. :(

Xander accidentally sliced me open when I was still living in Chicago. We were both dead asleep in the middle of the night, him curled up between my arm and my body, when something must have startled him. He launched himself like a rocket, and I have an inch-long raised scar on my wrist to this day.

I've also got a very long, dark scratch on the back of that same hand from Gnome telling me he didn't feel like having his head scritched, and one on my tummy from Gnome deciding he could just leap up and latch onto my shirt and piton his way up my body to be held. Fickle cat, Gnome.

And we won't even get into the psychological scars Riley left....

I'm so sorry your kitty got you. Keep an eye on it - those things can get infected easily.

You know, these days, I never know what the hell is gonna set him off. Most of the time he's a sweet guy, but he has zero impulse control. We were having a nice time brushing, then he seemed to see something out the window or…who the fuck knows, and boom, he went after my head. I probably have some cuts on my scalp but my hair is so thick I'll never know unless blood's dripping down my face.

I can't believe GNOME would do that!! I mean, I remember the biting a bit, but he seems so utterly sweet, it's hard to imagine he'd do that. Fickle indeed.

He didn't mean it meanly, he's just... not that bright. You may have noticed! He's been trying hard these days to not use his claws, but still, when I'm brushing my teeth and he standing up on his hind legs and places both paws on my hip to discuss with my why I'm not downstairs FEEDING HIS STARVING MOUTH, they sometimes go in.

[mollyamory]

It is true. He's not vicious or anything, he just hasn't yet made the mental connection between him sticking his claws in me, and me beating him about the head and shoulders until he stops. :)

Ouch. Yeah, kitteh scars here, too, and some of them a complete surprise to both parties. They seem to forget how delicate human skin really is, when they get in the mood to grab my pants for attention, or piton their way up somebody, or down your back to get off the chair, or what have you. Just rude when you scream in pain, too!

I think he…kinda knows that it's not good. But as batwrangler said in my LJ, my cat is abusing me. Because afterward he was all rubby and cuddly and purring, like, "Baby, I didn't mean it, take me back."

[sperrywink]

Oh no!! Stupid cat. >:-(

I think your cat may be abusing you. :(

You know, I think you're absolutely right. Because afterward? He was all wanting to cuddle, coming up and rubbing my legs and trying to sit on my lap and knead, acting like he's still my sweet guy. Great, I'm in an abusive relationship with my cat. :-D

That...does not sound good.

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

I think batwrangler's right -- I'm in an abusive relationship with my cat. ;-)

[mackiemesser.livejournal.com]

Or you've been letting him watch waaaaaaay too any slasher films...

OH MY GOD. Well, if it scars I hope it looks cool.
