Days Since Lady Jane Grey Has Bit Me: 0

[lydy]

I have taken to sitting in the media room after work for an hour or so to be social with LJG. I was petting her, and she draped one front leg over my petting hand. If she were Naomi, this would have been an invitation to scrubble her belly, so I did that thing. She instantly did a hug-bite-kick, and now I have a slash on the heel of my hand, and two puncture wounds. She stopped, instantly, and I put my hand on her head in the "mother admonishing kitten" way, and told her that she had behaved badly. She did not struggle or protest being disciplined in such a fashion. That's interesting because she normally does. She tends to squirm and vocalize; this time she just lay there, looking a bit repentant. I got up and put antibiotic creme on my various injuries, and she was still on the couch when I got back, and responded well to being petted (on the head, not the belly). I really need to not pet her belly, I think.

Meanwhile, ouch.

I've had cats where that meant rub my belly but Aska is the variety that means "I've got all my point bits available now and would like to use them." :( and she isn't repentant. "If you didn't want to play, why'd you put your hand in the attack zone??" She has me trained. Luckily she isn't comfortable enough with guests to do it to them.
I'm sorry you got hurt. May you heal quickly.

My ex husband used to pet Wally's belly, then turn to me and say, "Look Liz, he likes it....OWE!!"

Over, and over, and over.
