Fucking Hell

[la_samtyr]

One of the porch cats sneaked inside the house when I let the little dog out this morning. At first I ignored it because it was just easier and I can usually lure them back on the porch with food. But this one was being stubborn so when it spooked itself inside the bathroom, I decided to just throw a hoodie over it and get it out that way.

Well, it sort of worked. I managed to snag it, and it mostly clawed the FUCK out of the left side of my leg, right by the knee and wouldn't let go. I wasn't letting go either because I knew I would have even worse luck trying to get it a second time. So it dug in and yowled and I grabbed it tighter and CURSED, of which FUCK played a very large part, as well as several other words I am sure you have heard before. It also snagged part of the side of my left wrist. Definitely drew blood and after I tossed it back on the porch I went and did a quick wash.

Now it's off to the doctor and see if I can get some new meds and shit. Just the way to start the weekend.

Edit: This is the first time in *Years* that I have been hurt with a cat. Oh sure, a few nasty scratches at times but not so much with the "chomp-chomp" but, and I have a tetanus shot already.

I understand your pain! Years ago I came home from work to find my cat sitting in the middle of the living room floor. I went to pick him up like a toddler - under his "armpits" - and he freaked and raked down the backs of my hands with his hind feet. I have no idea why he freaked as that is how I always picked him up. But I still have the scars on the backs of my hands. They're actually a comfort now - he's been dead for 8 yrs but I show the physical proof on my skin that he existed.

Yeah, cats can be awful funny at times. This one was one of the spookier ones though still pretty friendly. Actually I thought if I ever got nailed by one of them, it would be the semi-feral almost-grown kitten that comes around for food.

Poor you - I expect that cat will still want you to feed him.

Hugs Binky xxxx

Yea, you don't want to play around with injuries inflicted by a cat. .They can get nasty quickly. Sorry you got hurt! Hope you heal quickly with NO infection!

Yeah, I went to the dr. and got another tetanus shot and a bunch of antibiotics. My wrist is pretty tender but I'll wait and see what happens by Monday.

Oh, I'm sure I'll be ok, just kind of sore and achy for awhile. *hugs back*

dude, that sucks, i hate holding wrigglig cats because even though they are pretty robust I am always scared I will hurt them.

Oh yeah but believe me, cats are *ahem* able to handle things better than we are with their superior skin and musculature.
