{September 28, 2013}   Don’t startle your cat, it’s painful!

When I am sitting on the sofa, the cats think I am there for them, and if you have a cat, you know what I mean.

A lot of times, they want to sit on my right side and this gets frustrating because being a righty, I use my right hand for the mouse, so I try to move them to the left side and at that point, after some scratching, I can get them to lay still, for a while a least.

Last night, I went for Peanut as I’ve done countless times, to lift her to move her over to the left side. Apparently, I startled her big time! She jumped and turned her claws in my direction and had a go at my face!

She got the left side of my nose, just a scratch, then a gouge on the right side of my nose, scratch marks going towards my eye and then these perfect little scratches along my eyelid, perfectly lined up, what are he odds?

Although it took the cuts a long time to stop bleeding, it did stop. I immediately put peroxide on the cuts and was good to go! Peanut took about four minutes, came out of hiding, and she was back saying hello.

I’ve had a few people ask what happened, I’m happy to share, but if it were to scar, I would need a better story to tell!
