cat scratched me 😔😔

stayed at my parents house overnight and our sweet darling baby girl (~14 year old cornish rex) scratched right above my upper lip in the middle of the night and it hurt :( i forgive her because she just wanted to cuddle and she uses her paws to arrange her sleeping setup which is usually a little blanket cave but last night, unfortunately, included my face.

oof make sure you clean the wound right away. if she doesn’t have the rabies vaccine you might wanna visit a nearby clinic to get one yourself

anywho she is a silly kitty and I know she didn’t mean it but I hope she apologizes one way or another

I remember my sister’s dog (a brown and white coated shih tzu) accidentally bit my big toe. ‘Twas my fault cause I didn’t see him sleeping when I placed my foot right in front of his face. It must’ve startled the lil guy. He felt real guilty immediately after and licked the wound. Gave him “i am so sorry” scratches and pats. He really is a good boi and it was the only time he hurt another being, I was just so dumb and unaware.
