Do you have pet? Do they physically hurt you like mine did?

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

I gave my cat the milk. The milk was a bit hot so he was not able to drink it for the time.
I went to scratch his back from the back side and he attacked me.
He is now covered in my blood. That much blood was lost.

Guys, always take the note of updating your car's first aid kit regularly.

Since our first car is up for servicing, the first aid kit was at home and followed the instructions to apply bandage.
Always keep the medicines updated, expiry and all such things.

Awww, this is sad and kind of funny. I like the story.
Yeah cat's are little devils sometimes. (Dogs too, and they have bigger teeth.) I had a Persian with long fine hair that would continue to get knotted even with my daily brushing. The knots got worse and worse on his stomach, and I had to cut them one, carefully one by one, with tiny, very sharp-ended scissors. He hated it. Hated me. He would attack me a lot. I had to hold him down with one leg, cover his head... all sorts of things. Became a real problem. Sad, too.
Persians are high-maintenance, and not for the faint of heart. You must be brave. (And good luck with the baths. But the fur sure feels silky the next day.)

You really shouldn't give a cat milk. Cats are lactose intolerant. Feral cats do not like to be petted when food is presented. Once you learn to read a cat's body language you will learn when it is okay to touch.

[EnglishEuropean]

Not all cats are lactose intolerant.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Yes, feral cats do not like to be petted when food is present. I learnt it the hard way. But I learnt it!😅

[EnglishEuropean]

That's true of any cat. They don't even want to be watched while eating.

[OlderAndWiser]

I have a cat who is kept inside and she has never been declawed. Occasionally, she will get me wth one of her front claws but she never does it in an aggressive manner.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

He is not a typical pet from the houses, but a stray one, who has many houses in his area. But he prefers our house as he grew with us.

[snowboarder720]

Does everyone like to be bothered by pets while enjoying a meal?… Neither do they.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

I agree completely. I learnt it the hard way😅

[skyeee01]

cats shouldn't be fed milk as they don't have the enzyme lactase meaning they are lactose intolerant. They will still drink it so it is the owners responsibility to not do so...

Secondly no animal really like to be touched when eating their food, would you like it if someone tried to pet you when you were eating?
My horse likes a good kick now n then, gotta man up and get on with it.

[Starla1234]

If you have a pet of any kind, be prepared for a few bumps and scratches along the way. You can reduce the chances of you getting hurt by respecting their space (don’t invade it all the time), treating your pet nicely and gently, and training them/socialising them well

[DizzyDesii]

I do not want any pets. Yes they can be domesticated but they’re still unpredictable af. So i’ll leave the pets to those who want them. I prefer to date someone who does not have pets. If they do have pets then i prefer its the ones that live outdoors. I won’t date anyone who has indoor pets

[InYourHead]

I have a German shepherd. He has hurt me in the past but it's rare

[Honesttguy]

Learn to use intuition and feel when its okey to pet him, they have boundaries and they hold their ground strongly as u can tell. They take no bs from anyone.

[TacosRAwesome]

My cat once attacked my neck because my hair annoyed her. She's cool now though.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Your NECK? Whoa...
I would have been frightened.
Seriously.

[TacosRAwesome]

It was horrifying, like top 10 scariest moments of my life.

[EnglishEuropean]

You gave your cat hot milk? I would have scratched your eyes out. Idiots like you shouldn't have pets.

So you got a scratch? Learn from it.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Oh man. He drank it later!

[EnglishEuropean]

Okay well at least that proves he's smarter than you.

[Apulu_3]

I have a permanent scratch mark from my rabbit in my wrist. And now I'm grateful for that. It is a sweet spot. Whenever I miss my rabbit I look at that marks and our sweet memories start rewinding.

[Киттйлинк]

why would you give a cat hot milk? wtf is wrong with you?

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

The weather is really cold. I meant to make the milk a very mild one but it got a litttle bit hot. When put finger in it, it was not even hot. But he was not able to drink it. But he drank it later after half an hour.

[Киттйлинк]

ah ok.. but maybe next time do not place it for him if it's not ready.. it's horrible to be burnt.
I had worse scratches

[Киттйлинк]

make sure to disinfect the cut

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Thank you. Followed the instructions you get in first aid kit in cars and it is better now.

[mobiusforniner]

Yes, cats will scratch you. I have a cat. He one time attacked me after seeing another cat outside. Left several gaping, oozing holes in my arm.

[Subarugirl]

Lol covered in blood from a scratch on your finger?

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Yup! Apparantly fingers have a high concentration of blood vessels, hence the blood loss.
I was not surprised as I have lost much more blood than that earlier.

Unprecendented attack was the surprise for me.

You should give the cat meat instead of milk. Milk causes parasites in cats.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

He plays with mice for hours before eating them. He's got it covered from his end.

I am vegetarian, my mom and dad are not, but its been nearly 2 years we did not bring meat at home.
So all we can give to him is milk from our end.

I completely agree with you that we should give meat instead of milk.👍

[HeartFullOfGlue]

Yeah, I was petting one of my cats, Weasel, and he bit my hand

[Effie2004]

I trip over my dog lot of time don’t Know she’s there.

[purplepoppy]

It's a tiny scratch. Man up.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

I am not at all hurt. A deeper scratch was done by my second cat.
And my regular injuries cannot even be compared to this small one.

But it was done by my cat and that too completely unpredictibaly, hence I asked this question.
My regular injuries are much worse than this small one!🤣

[sensible27]

Hope you've thought about rabbies

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

😮😬

[sensible27]

Dude.. go get it..

[sensible27]

Like now, hurry..

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

My dad thinks since it was just a small scratch, I don't need anything. And I have to take his word for it as he is a doctor.😂Also said that it was a good thing I got it! at least I woud not 'disturb' the cat anymore.

[sensible27]

Depends on if the scratch is from the mouth, or the claws. It's maybe not super super relevant if it's a small scratch or a big one, it does matter if there's blood there. If it's from the claws I think the chances are far lower. But rabbies is sort of just incurable, what do you have to lose

[Iron_Man]

My pets only give me love tap

[TexasRed95]

Yes I'm allergic to her.

[Babygirl_S]

I don't as of now and yes pets can hurt you.

[Anonymous]

I’ve had bigger scratches on my bellend.
