Luna almost hurt Lily's eyes!!!

This seems so out of character for Luna and I'm really surprised to hear this. Your girls get along so nicely. I hope there's nothing serious going on here, could it be that Luna might have been in an off mood?

Sometimes Norbert will take a swipe at someone and I too think there will be damage, but nothing more than a bruised ego comes of it. Pippin is the toughest....he can take some swats and he can dish them out. Usually he wins the swat contests and the others give up.
Hopefully Lily is savvy enough to get out of the way when Luna gets in a mood. Usually they seem to get along so well. Hope Luna is feeling OK.

I trim nails every Saturday around here for just that reason. (No, not every nail needs clipping every week, but I have enough of them . . . . )

The one time I missed, Vita smacked Sparkle and scratched the cornea. It all healed fine; but it is a painful thing, not to mention a trip to the ER vet.

Maybe it is time for some soft paws?

Hopefully this behavior won't continue. Mine will also do this. They start out by being sweet and licking each other and before I know it they're smacking each other with their paws and biting each other. It's usually just rough play but sometimes I will break it up. I also try to trim my cats nails regularly. Storm and Sky won't let me so they both have to go to the groomers to have their nails trimmed.

I also hope that this won't continue! I think it wasn't an act of aggression, I guess it's only Luna's way to tell her that she had enough. She's also pawing at my hand when I'm petting her, and she doesn't want it.

As for the nail trimming, I'm already doing that from time to time. Luna's claws are growing too long, and then she has problems walking on carpets or blankets, that's why I started to trim her claws. Most of the time it works without too much protest from her. But you're right, I have to do that more often now, to protect Lily. I already did it this evening, and she accepted it.
