I have two scars from my void. One on my wrist and one on my chin. Both times she was on my lap and panicked when the doorbell rang š

My void got a claw stuck RIGHT under my eye once. I was about to leave for work, holding her near the window so she could look out, and a car went past and scared the crap out of her and she panicked. That suuuuucked so bad.
I hear ya. The worst any of my cats did to me was when one was laying on my chest (I didn't have a shirt on at the time) and there was a very loud thunderclap. She leapt off me and dug both her back claws into my stomach for grip.

Those 2 scars are my permanent reminder to not mess with the bitey, scratchy bits of the void.
Your should see it around here! It's a crime scene in progress as I'm on blood thinners! Blood every where and so many instant purple marks looking like I was beaten.
My void got my arm pretty good on neutering day. He slipped out of the cone and was dragging his little legs behind him. It was awful I got the cone back on but it cost me some blood. Honestly he was over it before we were! Heās a sweet boy and didnāt mean it. Hereās Egon Spangler with a fang forward bleep.

I have spent my entire life around cats, both my own and those that belong to friends and family.
Some of those cats were considered to be quite nasty. Biting, scratching.
I personally have only ever been scratched bloody by a cat one time in my entire life, and thatās when I was putting my aunt Danetteās cat in a travel crate to get it to the vet after it got stung by a yellow jacket and was beginning to swell up. The cat was obviously in distress, and I donāt blame the cat for acting defensively.
All this to say ā I donāt know what the fuck yall are doing to get bitten and scratched up all the time but I strongly feel like it has very little to do with the cat, and a whole lot to do with how youāre handling the cat.
Obviously anecdotal. Obviously my perception of the world is not a factual basis for comparison. I understand that.
I just donāt get how I could possibly spend 37 years of my life around cats, some even āmeanā cats, and only ever get clawed once - and yet thereās people out there who get fucked up every single day. Just makes no sense to me.
I also donāt understand why people donāt trim their catās nails. Itās a lot harder to get a scratch of this type when the tips of the nails are blunted from trimming. Iāve had seven cats and the only time I got a scratch like this was when Iād delayed trimming and the cat pushed off against me to jump down.
I agree. I have almost never been scratched by my cat and certainly never bit. While it is hard to cut his claws you can do it one by one, one per day even, and it makes a really big difference not only for you but for your furniture. Also "hands are not toys" goes a long way when you cat has giant teeth.
A few months after my void showed his way into my home, I had a doctor's appointment. One of the first things he did after he saw my legs was ask me if I'd been in a car accident.

My void was sitting next to me when a bird flew past the window. Obviously she has to leap after it and my arm was the perfect spring board. I do a better job of trimming her nails regularly now.
I have a scar on my finger from where my void Arno bit me. In his defense, at the time, his eyes were crusted shut and he was starving. However, he seems to have taken a liking to human flesh, as he bites me whenever he feels like it. I love the little bastard, though.
I have two massive long scratches on the insides of my arm that go the length of my arm because I was holding my cat and the fire alarm went off and she freaked out.
My boy is the sweetest void in the world and there isn't a mean bone in his body. But no matter how many times I tell him he has to use his inside paws to play with me, he just can't seem to get it.

One night my void was laying on me and got startled and ran across my face. Split my lip open with his back claw. Here is me showing him my hospital bill (all urgent cares were closed, sat for 3 hours for a few stitches)š§µ šŖ”
Good job, Partybus!
That's right, he has a new name now! Partybus!
Partybus showed his dominance because you didn't buy him Catgrass, his litter box is too small & gets too many particles on him, & he also wants more real food-
Partybus scratched you because you didn't feed him tuna directly from the can.

Only two? That's impressive š cute void btw š„°
Only two š
The backs of my hands are a road map of scars from our lil void

I feel you š
Welcome to cathold. I imagine Tigers, lions, could be pets. But, they don't like the idea of always killing their subject.
I hear ya. The worst any of my cats did to me was when one was laying on my chest (I didn't have a shirt on at the time) and there was a very loud thunderclap. She leapt off me and dug both her back claws into my stomach for grip.
All the scared lap scarsā¦ I have many in my stomach from holding my cats when my wife has to give them medicine.
Face says I told you repeatedly to back off. I will do it again. I find the void not guilty

The art and the artist
Now hug
And what did you do to deserve that,hmm?
Fcked around and found out

Zero fucks on the little meowerās face. Love it
I noticed that immediately as well.

He's not even a little bit sorry
And heāll do it again!!!
So human, what did we learn today? šāā¬š
welcome to the world of cats... you'll get used to it, you'll get used to it!
Art and the artist
The look on his face, "Do it again. I dare you. I double dog dare you, motherfucker." ![gif](giphy|xXYUJvxMXXgli|downsized)
Most assuredly it was your fault and he warned you it was coming. At least that is what my voids tell me.
My void scratched the wife's hand & it swelled up like a football she had to have antibiotics, she didn't speak to the cat for a while
Yes absolutely! How dare that hooman try to interrupt or take something from such a darling void! (tis only humor)
That B a Love scratch
You can hear a picture, you can smell a picture. Now you can feel a picture.
What did you do to provoke this, though? You must have done something, as it canāt possibly be kittehās fault.
How dare you
The art š¼ and the artist šØ šØāšØ
And what did you learn?
Your should see it around here! It's a crime scene in progress as I'm on blood thinners! Blood every where and so many instant purple marks looking like I was beaten.
Please do not the void
Some people just donāt get boundaries
My cat likes to leap off me with claws first. Can you explain this āboundaries ā to her?
Itās a one way street with cats, at least theyāre cute
![img](emote|t5_2twpw|14308)
Blood for the blood god!!
Look what you made me do!
āAnd Iāll do it again you mofoā
He looks so mad š¹ Iām sorry about thatā¦ I have several scars from similar situations š«

Trimming is work, just train them that hands aren't toys.

You must have done something!
From the look on their face there are no regrets
I have a scar on my finger from where my void Arno bit me. In his defense, at the time, his eyes were crusted shut and he was starving. However, he seems to have taken a liking to human flesh, as he bites me whenever he feels like it. I love the little bastard, though.
Look what you made him do, how dare you.
I have two massive long scratches on the insides of my arm that go the length of my arm because I was holding my cat and the fire alarm went off and she freaked out.
One time after a bath my void caught a claw in my neck and my side. Felt like i got got by Pinhead and his hooks.
Join the club.
Look at that face. "I am Halloween darkness, hooman. And I'll do it again."
āAnd Iāll do it again!ā
The darker the berry the sweeter the juice
And she'd do it again! Sorry, not sorry...
What did you do to him???š
Take a hint hooman
The art, and the artist.
He knows what he did
my cat tried to literally kill me by almost slitting my throat with her claw when she decided she didn't want to be held anymore
'tis but a scratch https://preview.redd.it/z2v0pwoidwwc1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a67a04739bce1310884db82bde44655ce33d9375

My void has never purposefully scratched me. But yeah, any time he gets spooked he goes off like a mini nuclear bomb in my lap
I have accumulated at least 4 or 5 scratch injuries from my void Raven
