My goodness! This kitty is crazy!! He likes to chase anything and everything that moves! Well, last night he decided to chase my eyelashes! He ended up poking me in the right eye. I went to the eye doctor this morning because my eye hurt so bad. I have a puncture on my cornia!! I am on antibiotic drops and pain drops! Pretty painfull! I just thought I would share his naughty behaivior with you. It is really hard to see, but I still have one good eye...he better not even think about it again! I still love him though!! Kits will be kits!!

No! Not "bad"! Misunderstood!

Seriously, maybe Icess should get acquainted with a pair of claw clippers. If he won't let you clip his claws, check to see if a groomer will do it for you.

OUCH! Be very careful with that scratch! I scratched my corneas many years ago and when they healed, it left scarring which is now affecting my vision. I may be in line for a corneal transplant! Follow your doctor's instructions to the letter.

So cute, so sweet, so OUCH!

I was going to suggest clipping nails, someone else got to that idea first.

Also, multi cat households, keep in mind what she says: VERY PAINFUL. Sparkle and Vita have lived together for 9 years and sometimes just get in each other's face, like all siblings do from time to time. And Vita did this to Sparkle, at 11 PM. On a Saturday night. (My vet does not open on Sundays.) Went to the emergency vet; it cost a lot, but the pain killer helped her so much.

I've also heard cats may do this to a new puppy arrival in the family.

Hope you feel better fast, ReachOutRescue!

yes, please be careful and do exactly what the doctor said. Your vision is nothing to fool around with.

and, yes, get some clippers and give that boy a nice manicure & pedicure.

(he didn't mean to hurt you...............

OUCH!!!!!!

I can't imagine how bad that must hurt! You poor thing! Yep, time for some serious claw clipping!!!

I have scratches on my legs where the Kitten Trio has used me for a ladder, and have had JJJ3 land on my chest.
But thtas nothing compared to having a scratch on your eye.
We hope and pray that its nothing serious.
We are sure Icess is very sorry.
