[QUOTE="smallbike, post: 153609, member: 27486"] He was a big orange cat, so kinda ;) He and his nemesis were trying to fight through a sliding glass door, and they woke me up yowling and hissing. In my half asleep state I thought it was a good idea to move my cat away from the door, and he went bobcat-wild on me. No stitches, just an extremely painful “irrigation” of the wound which filled my hand with water like a balloon in the ER. He was normally a super sweet cat, and he knew he messed up - he didn’t even beg for food for almost a month! Another time I ended up in the ER from a pet was in middle school when we took in a stray dog (it was snowing) and it attacked my normally badass MF cat (a cow cat named Onion, lol). She jumped on my head to get away, and the dog grabbed her by the tail, causing her to dig her claws into my scalp, hanging on for dear life. I got the dog off of us, she jumped straight from my head to the curtains, and I threw the dog out the front door like he was getting kicked out of a bar. That one was 3 stitches in my scalp, but the cat lived til I was in grad school, so I’d say it was worth it. [/QUOTE]
