Playtime
Most cats I've lived with tend to have a 'mad half-hour' around 11pm when they start racing round the house like loonies and attacking each other. This is fine. However, one night Mr and Mrs Flatfrog had turned in early and just settled into nice deep sleep when Mrs F was woken by a cat jumping onto her face, using it as a trampoline, and springing off again. To get extra purchase, the claws were fully extended. And the precise point of contact was her left eye.

Not the nicest way to wake up. She was sliced into right through the eyelid; all but the under-layer of skin. Miraculously, the eyeball itself was unscratched.

The cat was completely unaware she'd done anything wrong. She's just damn lucky she's so cute.
