    Fed the kitty this morning and we went back to bed, cuddling sweetly… she stretched her arm, dropped it and punctured a single secretly sharp claw into my eyelid like a fishhook.

    After a delay of refusing to get up it was washed with antibacterial hand soap and dabbed with Betadine so fingers crossed. I have a spare box of antibiotics ready to go.

    But yeah, that was literally half a centimetre from my actual eye.

      That makes me feel sick because I can’t have anything go near my eye ( like I can’t wear contacts because I freak out about it )

      My painful cat encounter story is, I was trying to save someone’s cat in a tree so I climbed way up and grabbed it.

      It got scared and wriggled and thrashed around so much that it fell…almost. It managed to hook a single claw into my forearm and was just hanging there…stretching my skin.

      I could only freak out and scream and shake it off. Of course it landed on its feet and just sauntered away.

        It’s ok, it was just the top eyelid near my eyelashes. Nothing actually went in my eye.

      My WhiteBoy used to wake us up by delicately inserting a single claw into a nostril

        My dog was having cuddlyboos on my chest and he reached out and touched my bottom teeth with his nails. 🤮
