So tonight at dinner, my hubby kept hearing a cat meowing. I was too enthralled with watching the Canada Geese migrating right over our house to notice. But Sunny was standing, staring at the front door. So my hubby went over to the door and opened it, and in falls a kitten. We don't have a screen in our our storm door window, because of a different cat that tore it up last summer. I was the dumb one that kept giving it milk because it looked neglected. And maybe a little canned salmon. Anyway, I digress.... So we keep the storm door window open about 6 inches so Sunny can stick her head out and watch the neighborhood. I guess the kitten jumped through the window and got stuck in between the doors. Sunny, AKA, Miss No Animal Social Skills, got right in his face to sniff him out. And of course, the kitten did what comes natural to cats- he hissed and swiped. Sunny got off easy, but after a bit of cuddling (my hubby loves cats), there was another scuffle and this time there was blood everywhere. Poor Sunny got it right in the muzzle. It didn't stop her from wanting to keep at the kitten, like I said, ZERO animal social skills. She's sort of like the annoying friend that stands too close when talking to you. That's our Sunny. A whole lotta OES, in your face at all times. I personally love it and wouldn't have it any other way I feel so bad for her, she got a total shave today, and then she's just trying to make a new friend and she gets punctured by a cat claw. Rough day. |

Awww poor baby. Our cat has all of his claws, and Frankie is the same way right on the cat all the time. So far Buzzy has been mostly gentle. I keep waiting for that scratched nose. Sheepies are very curious aren't they. Lisa and Frankie |
Well, I am terrified of cats, having been attacked many times in life by the little buggers. You say Sunny has no social skills, but Sunny was just trying to say hello! It is the cat who has no social skills, running around in life with that 'I must get you before you get me' attitude. Still, they are so beautiful to look at, and so smart, it is hard not to admire them. So I am terrified, but I do admire them. From a distance. Hopefully with double plated glass doors between us. |
What happened is what normally happens with dogs and cats that don't know each other. Dog see's cat and if said cat does not run, the dog trots over to say hi. Cat, being a cat, freaks out and says back off(hiss). Dog does not know cat language and wants to play. Cat says I warned you...swat. Usually makes the dog back off. Poor Sunny just learned cat language... |
Archie regularly gets facial acupuncture from our two cats, he still comes back for more, apparently they don't like being held down by a GIANT sheepie paw while he licks them! |
'Kenzie is always getting swiped by one of my three cats when they are telling him to back off, or when he wants his bed back off them! They all love each other really. Nik |
