Cats and eyes strangely enough dont mix

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! - Scott Trackback URL for this post:http://www.diyfather.com/trackback/737

Pyper was on our bed with us, and so was the cat.... hmm ok I can hear what you are saying!!!
I have 3 cats and an infant
I have 3 cats and an infant at home and experienced similar results. At first I was apprehensive but now I've found that the cats almost act as protectors toward my baby. It is just too cute!
We have five cats, two that
We have five cats, two that are mainly outdoor, and three mainly indoor. At first I didn't allow the cats near our daughter, but after a few controlled encounters, we realized that they could care less about her presence. She even pulled a big mat of fur one day, and still nothing. I'll be sitting next to my daughter reading, when Mango comes along and starts licking her forehead. I think he is trying to groom her.
Of course, that's not to say that even the most mild tempered cats aren't capable of doing something unthinkable. We definitely keep an eye on the cats when they are near her and, as you suggest, every animal owner should.
Good thinking on taking your kid to the clinic, by the way. Cats have lots of bacteria in their claws. Nasty stuff.
