Have any of your cats almost killed you?

Does pushing cans of food off on your head count?

Well, I'd count it - that has to hurt and leave a big bump. And the shock of it could kill you!

I once had a cat jump down from a ceiling high climber tray right onto my head as I was sitting on the sofa below. It's a wonder he didn't break my neck.

It's never been that bad but when they were kittens, Creamsicle, Yodie and Coco Puff gave me a run for my money, especially Coco Puff. He still does.

I enjoyed your story but am so sorry that you got banged up in the process. I especially like the name "unprintable". LMAO!

You will get your reward in heaven!

I have had various scratches and bites, but I'm sure you don't even count those.

Barbara has some interesting names for her Kiri too, who woke me up twice with her claws sticking in my scalp!

Well - not a cat - but a dog did a number on me years ago. One of my RB Lhasas was blind from diabetes, but she got around quite well. One morning as I was getting my lunch ready to take to work, she wandered into the kitchen without me realizing it. I was getting something out of the fridge and turned around to take it to the counter on the opposite side of the kitchen, and there she was - at my feet. I over-compensated trying not to fall over her since I didn't want to hurt HER, and tripped and fell against the counter and broke a rib!
Now that I think of it - one of my son's cats caused me to break a toe. I was opening the door to take my dogs out, and one of his cats came sneaking up. I kicked my foot out to block her so she wouldn't sneak out, and cracked my toe against the door frame. The toe never healed and I had to have a couple of screws put in about a year later, when it finally became impossible for me to wear anything but slippers without being in pain.
These 2 events pale in comparison to your adventures. Hoping your face, nose, and knees are on the mend!

Your post cracked me up so bad, I'm sorry for laughing at your expense, lol. I can just picture everything you're saying and it makes for a great picture book!!

Oy, Jackie Boy... you better behave!!

I'm very glad I'm making everyone laugh, I posted it that way. And when you have to go in to work or go to the doctor and explain that you fell on your nose, you have to do it in a "laugh with me" way so you can cope with how ridiculous it sounds.

The doctor made me feel quite queasy by looking up my nose and telling me he was checking there wasn't blood in the septum because it could rupture. I hadn't taken it that seriously, just washed my face thoroughly in hot water and soap right away and slapped an ice pack across my nose and cheek for several minutes. The only thing that concerned me was checking on the date of my last tetanus booster.

I think Pomtzu's injuries were much more serious than mine since they involved breaks. However, she probably got a lot more sympathy and a lot fewer laughs from people.

KK - claws in your scalp sounds horrible because you can't really see how to ease them out. Ouch!

I'm glad he's very adoptable, imagine if I had to keep him!

[Freedom]

I'm glad he's very adoptable,

Only if you don't tell potential families what he is like!

Gosh you had me laughing too. I take it he does not want to be an indoor only cat? (Wonder what makes me think that?!)

Tommy Underfoot is constantly wrapping around our ankles. Well, except when he becomes Tommy Getdown!
