Last night, I was rudely startled from watching TV as our cat Nemo decided to use me as his safety net when he jumped off the cat tower. Instead of fighting with Miette who was climbing up and wanted his spot, he chose to launch himself on to me. It hurt like hell too. His indignant expression of “What?!” didn’t help.
Next time, I think I will just intervene when two cats are arguing over the perch. Miette and Molly weigh even more than Nemo so I can imagine how much deeper their cuts would be.
