My Friend

My friend Miss Patches Spoilmelots got punted last night. I am here to tell her that I too have been punted every once in awhile. It is the fate of all of we little ones with pointed ears and beautiful meows to be punted sometimes.

My human mom dies a thousand deaths every time she accidentally stumbles over me or worse still kicks me (never that hard though) in the dark or when I am hovered right at the back of her ankles. I scream and run to the safety of the under bed chamber and she follows as fast as she can, saying " I'm sorry sweetie, I'm sorry" over and over till she lifts the bed skirt and sees me cowering under the bed. Most 99% of the time I am just within reach and allow her to pet me while she continuously apologizes for hurting me. When she sees me not cowering and she has made the proper apology I show her by staying where she can touch me, that I have easily forgiven her because I know she didn't mean it. I have hurt her too.

One time I got my claw, the "thumb" claw stuck in the pad of her thumb while she was brushing me. I was just going to push her hand away as I had had enough but the claw embedded into the skin and turns out, the pain was so intense she had to see the doctor and keep in under ice till she could. The doctor said I had managed to hit a nerve that ran right through where I accidentally pierced her hand. Poor mom. I know that hurt. I was so sorry. I came into her room right behind her a little later and sincerely snuggled and loved on her. I really hurt her and she loves me so much.

So, these things happen with humans and their little ones when they don't see us. But we remember all the good things and easily forgive.
