Last night Jalen came downstairs screaming and holding his eye. He told me the cat scratched his eye and I saw blood dripping all over the floor. I thought he had scratched his eyeball for a minute and that freaked me out. Turns out he had 2 deep gashes on his eyelid - one that immediately turned an ugly green and purple. It bled for about 10 minutes and then he wanted a band-aid on it

He couldn't understand why I couldn't put a band-aid on his eyelid

It's pretty ugly this morning.

BTW, they were trying to get the kitty to do somersaults

I am hoping they learned their lesson, b/c this is our laid-back cat.

Tina, I am really sorry about Jalen's eye!

and

to him!

That being said,

about the somersaults!!!

How would one attempt that?!?!?!

OMG! I don't know if I would have been very calm in a situation like that. I hope you were able to clean him up okay and that he's doing better this morning. Wow!

Oh yeah, and poor kitty!

I hope it gets to looking better!!! And I'm with Tara....how would one go about making the cat do sommersaults

GATechGal · 02-02-2005, 12:07 PM

Ouch. I just hate it when they get head wounds that bleed like that. Well hope there was a lesson learned.

Hope his eye is better soon.

Poor kiddo...poor CAT!

I have a scratch on my neck from Albert right now...note to self: Never hold cat with his back claws near your head.

Hope he feels better soon!

Hope Jalen's eye is better soon!

Poor kitty!

I know that our cats wouldn't put up that either!

**loobyoxlip** · 02-02-2005, 01:26 PM

I have no idea how they would be trying to get a cat to somersault

But they were best buds again this morning (Jalen and Presley) so I guess all inner wounds were healed

PhillyPooh · 02-02-2005, 01:48 PM

Ouch! Keep an eye on him you can get really nasty infections from cat scratches.

Ouch, A painful lesson to learn. I hope he is doing well.

Sounds like they got away with relatively minor injuries considering what tehy were trying to force kitty to do.... Hopefully they will learn.

for kitty scratch healing!

**LizardCop** · 02-02-2005, 02:56 PM

Well, when I first read this, I though of poor Celery... But then, you don't live that close to Tara.....

Now, I can tell you how to teach a cat to do sommersaults, but you could get scratched trying.....

**mestitch** · 02-02-2005, 03:07 PM

Mittens is doing plenty of sommersaults on her own every time I push her off of me! She just rolls around on the ground in this limp fashion. After she gets out of *her way* She's going straight to the vet to be operated on!!! She's been getting on mine and Chewy's last nerve all day!!! I need a smiley pulling his hair out b/c that's how I feel right now about her!

This reminds me of some advice I was once given:

Never hold a cat in one hand and turn on the blowdryer with the other.

I hope Jalen's okay.
