Spicey requests your attention
Spicey was in a particularly playful mood, and was hopping and scrabbling
and chasing the other cats. Dot and Buster scurried out of the way as Spicey pounced at them and did a little jig. All of a sudden, I felt claws digging into my calf. "OW!!!" I said in surprise and pain. I turned to see Spicey about to take a bite out of my leg. Spicey was a little startled too by my yelp, and slackened her grip. I put a tablet PC that I happened to be holding, between us like a shield. She started to come after me again, but I kept backing off and holding her off with the tablet. Until finally, I got to the vacuum cleaner, which I turned on. Spicey was really startled by that, and backed off several feet, giving me a chance to run away. Spicey was determined not to let me out of her sight, and pursued. For several minutes, we went all around the house, with Spicey keeping up with me tenaciously despite my slight speed advantage. Finally, I sat down, and said, "What in the world do you *want*???" Spicey hopped up on my lap, looked at me, and tapped me on the chest with a velvet paw. She said she wanted to explain that the the clawing was an accident, but I just wouldn't listen! |

Or one day they get in a bad mood and swat at their human (the way domestic cats do from time to time), except that this swat removes a big chunk of skin. -- Joyce I've gone running from the devil At times I've beaten down his path |

Those little claws are like needles (which I can't seem to keep under
control). Yes, cats can be a tad scary. They think they're playing and having a big time but they don't realize OUCH! That hurts! They vary quite a lot in how aware they are of the issue. My Muriel and Splodge both wanted to be lap cats, but when Muriel wanted my lap I needed thick protective clothing - the happier she got the deeper she dug her claws in. Whereas Splodge could sit on my lap purring away for hours and never grab at all. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |
