Pyper was on our bed with us, and so was the cat.... hmm ok I can hear what you are saying!!!
Pyper turned around and then burst our crying, and the cat jumped off the bed, i gave Pyper a hug as I didn’t see anything and just thought she was being a bit silly! After the hug she kept playing and then 10 minutes later I saw red scratch marks under her left eye and also on her nose and eye brow, I wondered what the hell was going on, and thought the damn cat must have scratched her. It must have been fast as it was directly under her eye and on her eyelid, it scared me, thankfully it didn’t look like it got her eyeball and she seemed to be fine.

We took her to the afterhours medical centre where they assessed her and then sent us home, she was fine put some saline solution on it if need be and then also some pamol if need be as well. We have now made sure she doesn’t get too close to the cat as accidents change lives very fast.

So lessons to be learnt are just be very careful around kids with animals and make sure you keep them well away from animals with sharp claws!
