well my sweet adorable loving affectionate darling new kittens.. aka The Crites.. Fischer & Norah.. after sleeping all day long, had rampant bursts of energy late last night and Fischer booked it across the back of my skull leaving a few gouges from his claws in his hurried scurry. of course.. i woke up screaming from the rather large gash he put into my scalp terrifying mal. who else came running? my daughters feline, Rogue. who then proceeded to chase Fischer out of my bedroom, slapped him arond a bit, and then kept guard over my threshhold not allowing him entrance back in. his behavior surprised me honestly. ive known him to be viciously protective of my sprite.. but hes never come to my rescue.. prolly cause up until now, hes never been given the opportunity.. and i was touched by the action. hes also the only way i knew it was fischer and not norah since my face was in the pillows and i was unconcious at the time of the assault.. because she was laying at the foot of the bed with rogue..and he left her alone.. and only gave pursuit to her brother. i didnt have any other incidents with the pair the rest of the night.. thanx to my little furry guardian.. who stayed watch until i woke up this morning. such a good boy have you ever had a pet that would protect you throughout the night? did it surprise you as this did me?

Aw poor tess! I hope you're ok! I know that hurts! I have been mauled by my felines a time or twelve! Those kitty claws are really sharp! My kittys stab me all the time. They just grip their claws into me and I scream bloody murder! I hope you cleaned said wound so that you don't get "cat scratch fever". No it isn't just a song and it does exist! I got it from my scary cat Mystique! She stabbed my finger and a week later I was in the ER with it blown up and had to get a tetnus shot and when they told me I had cat scratch fever I thought they were kidding until they brought the shot in and then stabbed me with it! It is no freaken joke! So please make sure that you take proper care of the wound so you don't end up having it welt really bad and get infected. I'm not meaning to scare you, but I'm trying to protect you from something really nasty! Mystique was an indoor cat so I don't understand why it happened, but that little scratch caused me alot of pain! The poor baby didn't meant it! Just trim the talons and be done with it!

That is really sweet, animals can be so surprising at times in how they show their feelings for us. I sympathise with the scratch though, they can come keen had a few myself over the years. No more though as I have no more cats. I cannot recall that any of my pets have ever shown their protection of me in that way.
