…when one of your cats is sleeping next to you on the sofa and you reach out absently to pet her, startling her from a deep sleep, in response to which she leaps vertically and then rappels horizontally across your chest, face, and head to get away from Whatever Horrible Thing Might Be About To Descend upon her. She startled the hell out of me and left her mark unwittingly. Yes, it’s late. Yes, I should go to sleep. I’m doing the crazy cat lady thing and what’s worse, I’m not even posting a photo of the cat.
OW.
ROFL don’t feel bad, I used to have a link in my blog to the last 3 injuries inflicted on me by my lovely little feline, who we affectionately nicknamed “PsychoKitty.” 🙂
This happened to me last month–I wound up with scratches above and below my lip when the dog, who’d been attacked in her sleep a few nights earlier, yelped because she thought/dreamed she was being attacked once again, and the cat, still spoiling for a fight, used my face as a lauching pad to attack the dog once again.
