Had a cat that had a talent for this with our hands. No matter what toy you used, how quick you were, he ALWAYS caught you right between the nail. I miss him a lot. Don't miss that trick though.
My kitten tore up my pinky finger and something under the nail was bleeding too. I just slapped a bandage on it and went about my day She (both our cats) probably didn't even realize they had injured us, just that mommy/daddy yelled loud and scared them away
Hopefully it's not bleeding under the nail, from experience pressure build up from bleeding under the nail is no fun, it's slowly separating your nail from your toe. Sounds like for her it was near the edge of her toenail so it probably won't be too bad, when it happened to me years ago it was in the middle of the toenail and they had to use a laser to burn a hole in the nail to give the blood somewhere to go. The nail eventually fell off though cause it had separated too much but thankfully another nail had started forming underneath it by that point.
My mother used to treat infection and blood build up under nails when she was a nurse. Apparently in her day they used to do it by heating the end of a paperclip or needle until it could burn through a nail.
Ouch... The cat scratched underneath a nail - it's painful even to hear about it. So I completely understand Henya. I hope there won't be anything bad with the toe.
Yeah okay. Totally understandable. Finger/toenail and eyeball damage are the only things I can't deal with even in fiction. I just nope the hell out of there. Hearing about this IRL is torture.
I remember when I was on a vacation with my family in California, we was at my uncles place sleeping and I woke up in the morning and hit my pinky toe on the metal part of the bed so hard that it started to bleed really badly and man I have never been in so much pain in my life, but it wasn't as bad when I cut open my thumb, now that was horrible.😮
yeah if i got got like that, it would have been an Ex-cat. that sounds horrible. 10 minutes cry sounds totally reasonable. AND she cleaned it with alcohol. she is tough
One time, I was going to the Kitchen to make my own lunch and all of a sudden, I accidentally kicked a tip of a Chainsaw and my Toe bleeded pretty bad and therefore I felt horrid pain in me. 😖 My dad does crap like that to leave tools in the Kitchen which is never a good thing for your children to get themselves hurt from dangerous tools that is not suppose to be there at all. 😠 So yeah, you and me both Henya. 😥
Please don't cut the nails on your cat. They're not made for that. Cat claws should be sharp, why shouldn't they be? If you can handle your cats, you don't need to cut their nails. If you can't handle your cats, please don't have cats!
