My Poor Husband

My poor husband Mark.....Gracie almost ended back with Jan (QSL).

Poor hubby, Sunday morning at 4:00 am I hear "Gracie stop it". I of course ignore the comment because Mark has no patience when it come to the cats and sleeping. I hear again "Gracie!!!! STOP IT ....Gracie let go of me....Gracie your hurting me". Now is when I kind of take notice..."GRACIE YOUR CLAW IS STUCK *@&#*$&#(#(#&%*%^&&@*($(#*$*%*%* GRACIE **@(%*%*$(#*%*%%**"

Now keep in mind it's 4 am, I can not see because it is still dark but I sit straight up in bed and I am flailing around trying to find this little 5 lb Gracie.....well I could her with her claws (all 5 of them) stuck on her daddies face.

Her claw is stuck in his cheek. I try to remove her claw and get yelled at that I'm hurting him more. :rolleyes:

Poor Mark gets up and goes into the bathroom. He is bleeding from the nose (Yes she managed to get her claw up his nose), on the nose, 4 spots on his right cheek and 3 spots on his neck. Seems Gracie was dreaming when Mark turned to get comfortable and startled her....she must have thought his nose was something bad because did she ever do a number on it.

So here it is 4 am and I have a big baby bleeder on my hands and a 5 lb litty sitting in the hallway looking oh so innocent. :o

Unfortunately now Mark knows what it feels like to get clawed as this happens to me on so many occassions.

is it terribly wrong of me to laugh??? LOL That was SOOOO funny.

Yikes!! I can just imagine the $%&*#$ that came out of Mark's mouth!! my Brad would be the same way.. With us..its Gracie pouncing on his "private parts"...which she seems to always do...looks like after 6 months he would learn to keep those things protected a little more..lol

But I am sure that your baby wasn't laughing when he got his face ripped into..altho it does sound comical..I know it still hurt!

I'VE HEARD A FEW OF THESE WORDS OUT OF MY HUBBY TOO, FUNNY HOW THEY JUST HAVE TO SHOW YOU ALL THE BLOOD:eek: LIKE YOU CAN'T SEE IT. THOUGH I DO FEEL BAD WHEN IT HAPPENS. DADDY HAS LOTS AND LOTS OF SCRATCHES ON HIM. :rolleyes: HE ALWAYS TELLS ME ABOUT THEM.:D

With me,its the Found Cats,bounding,over me,and landing,on my bad back,that gets my Goat,and causes me,to cuss,at my Best Friends!

Uh oh!!! Time to clip Madame Gracie's claws it sounds like. Now you know how bonded those two babies are, and so Gabriel would have to come back too. :D :D Sorry...but I got into the line of laughing PTers too. :eek: Dave is the type to have to get lots of sympathy over his battle wounds too. :rolleyes: Kiss Mark's boo-boos, and kiss Gracie (and Gabe) and get out those nail clippers! ;)

Thank you for the laugh! I can imahine the scene all too well. One question though: How annoyed would he have been if you stopped to atke pictures? ;)

Kim,

Sounds like Gracie need her claws trimmed!! I've had a claw or two stick into my arm (thanks Eli!!). After a while they get too long and start to curl under. Tell Mark I feel his pain!!!

BTW, I have some mixed cat food. If you want it, send me a PM and I'll ship it out to you!

I have been woke up with Amy trying to get on the bed, of coarse she can't jump so her NAILS get her up... a few times she has sunk them in my knee and woke me out of a sound sleep..

SO, I CAN symapthise with your hubby, I KNOW how that feels when you are sound asleep... differance is, with Amy, I do not cut her nails no matter what... but you can so CUT THOSE NAILS!!

I can relate. I'm sporting 2 fine scratches on my nose from Roscoe. I woke with his claw stuck in my face. Don't know what got him "upset" with me. I probably was taking over too much of the pillow I'm allowed to share with him. It's a weird feeling to wake out of dead sleep with claws stuck in your face. We need to clip all of ours too, except Oliver! Smooches to Gracie:) !

Well I must admit to everyone that I am still laughing and snickering to myself. While I don't wish pain like that on anyone I'm sure glad it was not me. I have way to many battle scars to need any like that.

At least it was the face... I was reading it and all I could picture was poor Gracie stuck a bit further south :eek: :eek:

Poor Gracie getting her sleep disturbed! :D

Around "South America"????

:eek:

I'll have to admit, at first I was afraid that Gracie had gotten her claws caught somewhere else as well! Talk about OUCH!!! Well, I'm sorry that Daddy had a very rude and painful awakening, but surely he knows precious Gracie didn't really mean to!!!? ;) I think a good claw clippin' is in order too. My hubby is always the first to announce clippin' time around here too. What is it about men and pain and blood!!!?:rolleyes:

Oh "OUCHIE" Your poor hubby. Gosh that had to hurt. I have to admit, that when I starting reading what happened, I also thought she had her claws further down south.:eek:

snicker, snicker.

aww Gracie did not mean to do it. Poor daddy. I hope he feels better soon:(

I am so sorry Mark was injured, but that story was HILARIOUS!!!
Hope he forgives Gracie and it doesn't happen again, not anytime soon, anyway.

nah, CENTRAL PARK !!!!:p :p :p

Oh Meg! I don't mean to laugh but I just couldn't help it!:D :D
I think it's because so many of us have been there done that so it was easy to relate and picture the whole scene. :D There is nothing worse than claws anytime but when you're dead asleep it really freaks you out!:p
For two years straight our alarm clock went off at the same time every morning. For some reason it went off one morning and Sammy had some kind of short circuit and bolted across my face! He ripped my lip wide open and scratched me from below my eye down to my chin!:eek: After the initial pain the worst part was trying to explain to coworkers what happened!:rolleyes:
Tell Mark we sympathize! How did he expain those "holes" in his face when he went to work?

Like the Harley Davidson t-shirts....


If I have to explain it to you, you wouldn't understand.;)

OUCH!!

I was like Richard because the whole time I was reading I was thinking the attack was further south. Thank goodness it wasn't.

My sympathies to your hubby.
