Only the bad cat owners. The good ones can predict when there’s mischief in their eye.

Yeah lol although I wouldn’t necessarily classify them as bad owners, but I agree the “random” bites and scratches usually have some good indication ahead of time.

The cat I raised doesn’t really scratch but will swat. Now that she is a senior I even feel comfortable doing the under blanket play because she stays gentle and recognizes it is still me.

Now my partner’s cat though… I dont get hurt by him often at all cuz body language, but he will legitimately walk up to my partner and just leap into the air and grab on. Or walk up and bite. Kitty just loves being a jackass with him but normal with me.

Bruh I was dead asleep when I had my toes attacked by one cat and my face attacked by the other.

Your own fault for having a face and toes and dangling both in front of feral killers. Also, they wanted food and you chose to selfishly indulge in resting your body while your superiors literally fought starvation with their last bit of strength left. I also assume the bottom of the feeding bowl was visible, you monster! You probably deserve everything you got.

Speak for yourself. My cats never scratched me on purpose.

Neither have mine. Sometimes I have a bit of a raw spot, but that’s because they think it’s VERY IMPORTANT to groom my arms, lol. I must be stinky.

There’s no indication in the picture that the scratches were done on purpose. I still think it’s very cute.

What can I say, toxoplasma gondii is a hell of a drug.

And the expression on that cat’s face is super cute, yes.

That’s honestly extremely impressive to me how cats basically have mind control powers via an honest to god bioweapon.

I’ve only been scratched once in two years and it was an accident due to a fairly unlikely farcical comedy scene.

Essentially, if you’re sat on a wooden chair (which can amplify sounds), and you have a nervous cat pinned on your lap, as you apply a vial of flea treatment to his neck, I recommend that you do not suddenly and loudly pass wind.

Mine took a chunk out of my lip because I accidentally kicked the vacuum while I was carrying him somewhere. It didn’t even turn on but his fear of the vacuum runs almost as deep as the canyon he carved through my face. But yeah, he’s the best 🙃

Firstly you should never ever do what this lady has done here; never ever yield the high ground to your cat.

That is just like cats 101.

That applies to lightsaber fights too.

So true. Never give a lightsaber to your cat unless you’re prepared
