Fed the kitty this morning and we went back to bed, cuddling sweetlyā¦ 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.
Reaching out
Touching me, clawing you
Sweeeeet Mother of Jesus
Fuck fuck fuck š¶
š¶ Bedtimes never felt so sharp
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. š¤®
That makes me feel sick because I canāt have anything go near my eye ( like I canāt wear contacts because I freak out about it )
My painful cat encounter story is, I was trying to save someoneās cat in a tree so I climbed way up and grabbed it.
It got scared and wriggled and thrashed around so much that it fellā¦almost. It managed to hook a single claw into my forearm and was just hanging thereā¦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.
Itās ok, it was just the top eyelid near my eyelashes. Nothing actually went in my eye.
Yup, they'll do that. Cerys sliced my left nipple in half once.
Keep an eye on that shit. Uh. Pun unintended
I clip her claws but she always secretly sharpens just a single one so I donāt notice. Itās her stiletto.
Wondering about those colourful nail caps but they seem like theyād cause distress
Edit: And yes, Iām watching it because litterbox paws and will start the box of antibiotics thatās on hand if anything changes. It would be a nasty spot for an infection
Tbh i just gave up. It's what happens when you live with a cat.
Considering sleeping with eye protection now
