My cat just bit me. Ask me anything!

[Inland]

Right in the flesh between my thumb and forefinger. Yow!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

1. Why?

any reason for the bite?

[Inland]

3. I'm sure she FELT justified

but all I was doing was petting her.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

4. They like to "hunt and kill" human hands. Instinct.

Probably was kicking it with the hind legs while holding with the front ones, too.

2. Where?

[Inland]

5. Between my thumb and forefinger, the most delicate part of the hand

6. how about cat for dinner?

[Inland]

7. I'll start the water a-boiling

[gardenista]

8. Did you bite her back? nt

[Inland]

9. No. Should I have? Or would that just escalate matters?

Or pull a Bush and bite the dog?

[Meshuga]

10. Mine just scratched me!

We usually fight over the computer chair. He is on the chair now and I'm standing typing this. :-)

[Inland]

20. chalk up a win for the cat.

[wildeyed]

11. cat bites. Ow.

They get infected easily, be careful.

[Inland]

12. Tell the cat.

[MikeG]

13. The cat must have heard about the puppies getting shot.

They're smarter than you think.

[UTUSN]

14. Again? This Cat Keeps Biting? n/t

[Inland]

15. She's back, wandering under my chair, looking to strike.

[alittlelark]

16. If you wake up and the hand is hot or painful

get to a doc ASAP. I got a bite in the same place years ago and had to get 2 shots in my butt! OUCH!!!

[Eurobabe]

17. My cat only gives me love bites

the older cat has been known to strike every once in a great while, like after a 9 hr. plane ride from Europe to USA.

[Mizmoon]

18. I strike out too after a 9 hour plane ride

I've also been known to bite after suffering such an ordeal.

[Inland]

19. Yeah. Love bites. Mine too. They hurt like hate bites, though.

[UpsideDownFlag]

21. why don't you get a dog instead?

[Inland]

22. Fact is, I am afraid of how the cat would react.

[Ducks In A Row]

23. Did she find your thumb tasty?

[Inland]

24. I think. She seemed pleased by the entire experience, including my yelp.
