I'm renaming this thread temporarily "Dangerous Cat Games".
This morning, Clover was playing on my bed, right next to the wrought iron foot board. He was so cute that I started taking pictures.
After a minute or so, he stopped moving and was laying motionless. Then he started jerking his head and kicking.
That's when I realized that his head was stuck. First I was paralyzed, then I tried to get his head out.
It made him panic even more, and he tried to pull his head out.
I then just held him still, gently, and he calmed down. I was screaming internally, but tried to stay calm on the outside.
I called my boyfriend, who was about to get off work. It would take him about 20 minutes to get home, and I was prepared to hold Clover until help arrived.
About one minute after the call, his head suddenly got free. He ran under bed, but seemed to be ok. This whole incident occurred in about 4 minutes, a lifetime, it seemed.
I never had a non-illness related emergency like that, and I think that Clover and I used up all of our 9 lives.
