Ow.

My cat just attacked me. In the face. For no reason.

I now have two scratches on my forehead. And two actual cuts in the creases of my eyelid. One of them is quite bad; it's nearly a centimetre long and does that weird thing where the skin pulls apart if I gently lift my eyelid. If it isn't okay by tomorrow night I think I might need a stitch in it.

I washed it with anti-bacterial soap and warm water and it's now caked in Savlon, but I am really pissed off with my cat.

I have no idea why she did it. I was just standing at the backdoor, holding her, she wasn't trying to get down or hissing or anything - and then she just lashed out at my face. :(

The irony was, I was just thinking how I was a Cat Person.

Not anymore.

Yeah, Reesie does that too. She's declawed, but it's still definately WTF when she does it. She's a master at the old "look how cute I am, come closer, ATTACK!"

What's that about witches and their familiars?

Ouch. That's the trouble with cats (or any pet, really) you never know when their animal instincts are going to kick in no matter how well you know them.

Unpredictable.

Hope it is better this morning, and that there are no lasting signs.

Cats can be assholes. :/
