It didn't feel like much, but I was bleeding. I wish I could take him to the vet, but I would have to trap him. I can give him skritches when he rubs up against my leg, but if I try to walk away too fast, he swipes. When Cujo likes you, he only attacks you a little bit. I hope your guy is much sweeter.

do you mean you want to get up. I did not say you could go to the bathroom." He likes nothing better than to cuddle in my arm or on my lap. Absolutely hates for me to be out of his sight. Definitely a sweetie!!

My hands do, on occasion, bear a claw or scratch mark. Apparently that is the way some cats show affection.

…and he acted as if he didn’t even care”.

I used to have a cat poster that said this - sounds like a *perfect* description of young Master Cujo!

Lovely handsome boy!!

Nobody seems to know where he came from. He's gotten into some brutal fights with the other tom cats in the area. He gets along OK with our cats. You are onto something though. We've had lots of cats and dogs living together over the years.
