I got an owie!

My mistake was not enlisting my bride's help with this. All would have gone well, had the lid not fallen down requiring me to juggle carrier, carrier lid and 20 lb cat.

I'll be sure to ask for assistance next time.

Ow!!! George. Seems like you are okay, but I hope so. :couple_with_heart:

@taiwan_girl thanks!

I'm totally fine.

Boris has HUGE claws and he is, despite his size, remarkably gentle. He's never struck out at us, never bit, never even hissed.

This was just fear and self-protection.

As I said, little pain, just a lot of blood from a venipuncture.

Glad to hear, but it was one of those posts where I want to close my eyes while reading it! 555

“Once a lion cat gets a taste for human blood, it won't stop until it's eaten an entire village” is a quote from The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba.

I don't have high cuffed leather welders gloves like Renauda. But I do have a suede jacket, gardening gloves, and a fencing mask. It's not sexy, but it works.

Ouch! Glad you’re okay George

Boris seems to be quite the gentleman! Our first cat was awesome and a brave little thing, but when she clawed there was also an exit wound…

The fencing mask seems prudent. I have welders gloves too. Protects arms and hands.
