Ripley just attacked me!

Some cats will always be insecure and do things like that just to get attention.

Ripley, that wasn't very nice to do to your meowmie. I'm glad to hear that your injuries aren't serious Lori and that Ripley is being nice now.

Lori, I'm so sorry to hear that Ripley attacked you but I'm glad to hear that you aren't seriously injured. I hope that this will be the last time that he ever does anything like this again.

My mom's cat, Fritty, would always wait for me to get up and start getting ready for school, for, beign a gray cat in a house that's full of gray carpet, when the lights are off in the morning (as they usually are, since I was always the first up) you could NEVER see him.
At least, not until he was latched to your ankle biting and tearing off your flesh.

But he really was a violent kitty, though that was because he was a bottle baby. And he dun wrestle, he fights... I have scars all along my arms because we played. But boy, he sure enjoyed it. o.O'

Hope your hand gets better soon, though it seems like things are better now ^_^

I grew up with a lot of older relatives around. (Three of my grandparents were from families of 8, the other was from a family of 6 - I had tons of great aunts and uncles.) We also would go and sing at various area nursing homes. By the time I was a teenager, even though I had been told that "age brings wisdom," and "old people are nice," I decided that getting old, with its accompanying illnesses and infirmities, doesn't change a person, really. It just distills one into the core being he or she has always been. So the nice people get nicer, the cranky ones get crankier, etc. No one has proved me wrong yet.

I bet it is the same for cats. Just because Ripley is old and unwell, he's still Ripley! Bare feet beware!
