You know I have a lot of cats.
I try to restrict them from certain areas. Other areas they are allowed in for a short time. By short, I mean not free access to an area - like my front room a/k/a a living room. I have to restrict access because some of them have bad habits.
So, yesterday (Nov 20th 2019) I went to put one of them out. She turned around and flailed.
I had to actually pull her claw out of my nose... Yes it bled - a lot. Yes it hurts - not extremely bad unless I touch it or the area around it.
I am keeping an eye on it, but have to cover it with a bandaid because I have to wear my reading glasses to see - don't ya just love getting old?

@nanette64 yeah, I only ever declawed one, and that was because he attacked people and other cats. I currently have 2 declawed cats, but they came that way.

@ElicBxn I guess we just love the little stinkers so much; we put up with it. I refuse to have a cat declawed. People do not understand the horrific pain that is. They do not just remove the claw; they remove the joint leading up to the claw.

I didn't know what that was a picture of until I read that it was your nose. 
Been a while. How are things in Austin?

Yeah, right up at the bridge, right where glasses sit...
Also, yeah, for whatever reason, myLot is working again for me, at least for now.
Austin is okay, I guess. The wife is coming home from rehab later today, lets just hope she gets to stay home this time!

@ElicBxn That's too bad. I'm sure she'd feel better at home.

I wore the bandaid a few days, and then it stopped hurting. It is still a bit tender to the touch, but nothing like the first day or so. I also got a small sore on a finger. Two days of pain, the second way worse than the first and then nothing. Its been less than a full week and it is well on the road to a full recovery. I've never healed this fast!

@ElicBxn the resident cat 'tis a tad choosy 'bout whom 'n when she's friendly. the 1st 5 yrs 'f her life, she'd rip ya a new'un if'n ya tried to pet 'r 'ttempt to pick her'p. now, she's a lap warmer. not sure what changed? critters dislike confinement, their curiosity jest too high.

She really isn't mean, she's just not one to be picked up. I knew this, but I wanted to put her out of the room.
The good news is that it is not feeling too painful now, unless I touch it. Even the glasses don't hurt anymore, so long as I put them ON gently.

Oh! Seems like your cat doesn’t want to let go that easily.
