I'm a sucker for an exposed belly...

[zoey]

awwww i hope you heal/feel better soon. ..::hugs::..
BTW i likeyour idea of wearing a little note *my cat did it* on your nametag. It's funny, plus people won't think you have an abusive boyfriend or something....

Oh my Donna, I am sorry that you have been the victim of Maya Linn and her deep sleep! Glad your face no longer hurts, but sorry you look a mess!

My cat Tabitha got me one morning before work. We were playing and I leaned in to kiss her and say we were done, and she grabbed my bottom lip! I pulled back and "rrriiiiippppp"! Yep, had to get 2 stitches to take care of it! And when I told people that my cat had done it, the typical first question was "and where is the cat now?"

To make it even worse, the ER visit was turned into my insurance company and they called to ask the name and address of the "other party" that had injured me! I laughed and said it was my cat! She laughed, and said, "well, we don't hear that often!" I then asked if they were going to sue my cat!

So, in other words, "I feel your pain, Donna!" Hope you heal quickly!

At least you haven't lost your sense of humour. I do hope you are not purple for too long though.

So, where are the photos? Feel guilty for laughing at your predicament but thank you for sharing

I'm just VERY lucky she didn't get my eye. But she came damn close (about an 1/8 of an inch away). What made matters worse was the fact that I was bleeding like a stuffed pig. But head injuries (or facial in my case) always bleed more anyway, so I didn't panic. Years of working as a paramedic paid off. I ran to the bathroom and continuously splashed water on my face.

Donnaj,

I've been bitten by cats in the past as well. It is one of the most painful things to happen to you. I can't imagine having my lip torn up like you did. That must've really hurt. And I'm sure the insurance company had a good laugh at your expense.

The one thing I'm worried about is I have a "possible" temp job. I don't think this company is going to want me at their front desk answering phones and helping clients. Damn! How could I be SO stupid!! *stamps foot on ground*

Score:

Maya Linn = 1

Moosmom = 0

WOW , You ARE so lucky that Maya Lynn's sudden reaction did not get any closer!!!!! How is the eye doing today moosmom?

Ya, I'll bet they do tease you about "The Cat Fight"!!!!

Must have been one of those Mondays, huh!!!!

I have "imagined" your approach many times since reading your post, did Maya Lynn make that "cat noise"? That one always cracks me up!!!

All kidding aside, I hope you don't run into additional complications!!! and that you have learned a valuable lesson!!!!

yes, I'd wear that name tag for a few weeks!!!!!

I remember the insurance company called me when Logan bit me and I spent all those days in the hospital.

The guy wanted to clarify why I was in the hospital and I reply..."Um... my cat bit me."

He gets silent and then says, "Well that wasn't very nice! I hope he went without his tuna to teach him a lesson."

Sweetheart, you are a VERY lucky lady! I'm so relieved that you didn't injure your eye. The last thing I want is to know that you're hurt. If BB&B is anything like Longue Vue, you'll get plenty of razzing! I hope you start healing in time for your temp job. Here are plenty of {{{{HUGS}}}} from me and headbumps from my feline crew! BTW, you do not have an abusive boyfriend!

[Muddy4paws]

ouch!! Hope your eye and face is getting better?
