lol I almost did that once, but he let me know in time. what I do from time to time, is step on a paw or a tail, then there is a screech!! and then I try to comfort the cat and apoligize, but the cat usually will hear none of it, he or she runs away with me after it saying oh I'm sorry...( cats name)... come here sweetie, it was an accident, etc etc. usually after a few minutes I can coax the cat back to me and I pick him or her up and talk to and pet the kitty and gently rub the paw or tail, whichever was stepped on. I am usually pretty careful but sometimes one of the many will get under my feet quicker than I can move away!
