OW!

As I sat in my chair browsing the web (okay, adding more time to my 22 days worth of reading SWG forums) I felt the shift in weight that told me my cat Kuriko had jumped onto the arm of my chair and the stabbing pain that told me she was off the mark and had sunk her rear claws into the flesh of my arm to keep from falling off.

I had the presence of mind not to jerk my arm as this could lead to more rending of my skin and hurting her (she's like 16 years old). So I yelled at her, and it took a moment to realize she had jumped down as one of her claws remained embedded in my arm.

I feel bad about yelling at her... but not bad enough to let her jump back up right now.
