I got punctured!

I wish I could've, but it was grated parmasan! No, she really didn't sink her nails in, just kind of caught the skin under the jeans enough to get my attention. The term I really need to use starts with a "p" and ends with a "ricked" but mylot doesn't allow it.

Sometimes cats can be such a "p" ricked LOL I love the way you said that. It made me laugh this morning.

Thanks for best response

She's a sweet little cat, just so afraid. I wish she wasn't so afraid, because she is such a beauty, but she's in our house and she's safe, so what more can we want?

A cat that knows how to keep their claws to themselves? lol.

Star was just begging, she just isn't used to being close to humans and doesn't know how bad those claws hurt unfurred flesh.

A tame cat it isn't unknown to get in your face, but Star is anything but tame. She is very food modivated tho.

I've got a few noisy cats, but they all know I don't hand out treats. Fact is that Star is the ONLY cat I give treats to. the roomie is more generous with treats and gets plagued by the cats a lot more than I do.

Yeah, she wanted what I was fixing, until she smelled the lettace leaf! She didn't really break the skin more than a tiny bit - because I had on jeans, none the less, she doesn't have cat scratch fever, she's been inside, except for 2 escapes, since she was 8 weeks old. Even my strictly outside cat doesn't have it - because that's the one that chewed up my finger back in March.

She just pricked me, she wasn't trying to hurt me. Not like last March when I was "perferated" by Mitten.

She didn't stick me intentionally, its just that her nails are long and untrimmed. I don't trim her nails, I'm attached to my skin! I wouldn't slap her down first because I was so surprised she was doing it, and secondly because any time she comes to US, I'm happy.

She is a funny girl. Such a beauty and such a scared baby. She learned from Hobo that she could beg tidbits from us, and she smelled the steak cooking and we were sitting at the "food place." Honestly, the only cat I give tidbits to is Star, but the roomie hands out treats all the time, even tho I'd rather she didn't.

Yeah, she's only had her nails trimmed twice - both by the VET! Of course she's a perfect, if petrified, angel at the vets! I just looked at her surprised and she looked at me with a "I smell it, hand it over!" look.

When the Cat had her litter of kittens, one of them crawled up the INSIDE of my jeans, got to my knee and tried to turn around! Talk about jumping up suddenly! I already kind of knew that legs and cats were a bad idea, and the roomie has lots of scratches on her legs from Oliver as a kitten trying to get up her bare legs! These new kittens are fantastic jumpers, but Oliver was a lousy one, still isn't the best, but now we can blame it on being a bit on the tubby side! Oliver is also kind of long and low shaped, not a Munchkin but not quite as tall as some of the other cats.

Oh, I don't hold with declawing and as it is she is so picked on by some of the other cats she needs her defenses. I really just got tiny tips thru the jeans, I was more excited than upset!

Honestly, Vic, I'm thrilled that she did it! That's the first time she's ever touched ME! I have pet her, but you can tell she doesn't want to be touched!

I seemed to have missed your response when you made it. Star is a semi-feral (wild) stray who just happens to be a snowshoe siamese as well. she's a beauty
