I really doubt it ever intended to [I]wound[/I] her. Cats are known to bat at you if they're in a bad mood, in sort of a "go away" kinda gesture. Honestly, getting scratched in the eye is just a freak accident. Her face was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Getting attacked by a cat looks entirely different than that.

It's not a human, you can't honestly expect any pet, be it a bird, dog, cat, or anything else to be receptive of the affection humans give their pets in an equal manner at all times. The way a pet shows its affection towards its owner is different than the way the owner will show its affection, and some animals don't exactly take kindly to you putting your face up in theirs, as this can be interpreted as an aggressive action. The same can even go with prolonged eye contact for some dogs.
All pet are different, and can have their own personalities that the owner has to eventually be aware of. Even the most friendly pet can have off days where it can easily irritated by something and swipe or nip at you. It doesn't mean it hates you, but I don't think it means that's a shitty pet either. It's unfortunate what happened to this woman, but if I were to give her any advice, it'd be to learn the limitations of her pet, what it likes, what it dislikes, that way she avoids this sort of thing in the future.
She's a fucking idiot for sticking her eyes that close to it, much less not recognizing the tail signs, and even then not realising that cats on narrow surfaces are far more likely to have their claws drawn or ready to be drawn, something that any experienced cat owner should immediately pick up on.

Dogs are known to randomly attack people walking past, mauling them for extended periods of time and in some cases killing them. Does that mean Dogs are cunts, or "shitty pets"?
The cat here scratched this idiot once in a soft bit and it looked nasty. So fucking what?
I can easily tell that you have no idea what you're talking about. You're a fucking idiot, sorry.
If you raise a dog properly it won't attack people, at least not on purpose.
Even if annoyed.

Not with that eye she can't.

Ive learned something today.
What is it with long-haired cats? They seem biologically more aggressive than short-haired ones, and look more "evil" in general.
A couple weeks ago my grandpa's long-haired cat scratched him so badly he had to go to the hospital (although being old also makes him more susceptible to injury). However, my short-haired cats have never attacked anyone unless you aggressively petted their lower stomach for long periods of time, and even then, they're more likely to just squirm away.
holy shit she's actually crying blood, this is so terrible to see like aaaaaa my eyes just feels so wrong watching this
[QUOTE=Reagy;45918117]Cat was clearly getting frustrated and annoyed, don't mean to be rude but you don't put your face that close to a cat when it's showing those calls. Twitching tail, turning away from you. Honestly not surprised she got clawed but damn she got lucky.
Silly me saying this though because me and my cat like to face rub endlessly at times, especially when I'm in bed and she's like "feeddd me you lazy cunt", then she claws my leg.[/QUOTE]
do you happen to be a middle aged single cat lady?
Any news on how shes doing? Thats terrifying.

One important fact to keep in mind with cats is that by nature they're expecting to be dealing with another creature that is furry like them which will protect against a lot of the damage from being clawed, especially when it's just a simple swat to show annoyance. Cats have really sharp claws in comparison to dogs and it's easy for them to scratch you fairly badly even if they're just playing.

This kills the man
Seriously though, weak comparison. The dog shows absolutely no signs of aggression.
I've almost copped a cat claw to the eye a couple times from my parent's cats
My cat is not a scratcher, I'm glad he won't do that to me.

Well true, but this is really just another point in favour of cats being sub-par pets. Who wants a pet that you have to decipher its body language whenever you want to play with it, lest you be attacked by it. Isn't the whole point of a pet a companion for whenever you want companionship?

You know you can say the exact same things for dogs, right?

I can't handle the energy of [I]most[/I] dogs. They get up in your face, they lick you, I find that they often have an unpleasant smell, and they are incredibly dependent and I just can't deal with it, at all. Cats are more content to just chill out with me, which clearly cats make better pets, right? No. Not at all. It just means that different people look for different traits in their animal companions. Dogs make better matches for some, just as cats make better matches for others. I don't think there's anything necessarily wrong with dogs, they just aren't for me, just as cats aren't for you. One isn't a "better pet" than the other just because of the traits it has.
Also, it's important to remember that personalities vary for [I]any[/I] animal, but particularly so for cats. My cats are fluffy little cuddlebugs. One of them is exceedingly friendly with strangers while the other two hide in the presence of company. One of them loves to play and the other two avoid it entirely. Scratches from any of them have been rare and accidental when they did occur. Do all cats behave this way? Fuck no they don't. Some cats are complete assholes, I can attest to this. It depends on the animal. Are ALL dogs loyal and awesome companions? Certainly not ALL of them. I have a friend with an evil little black chihuahua that bit my leg [I]hard[/I], completely unprovoked, and it left a nasty bruise for like a week! It barks all the time, it never shuts up, and is generally an annoying little shit to anyone but its owner. Now, do I associate that dog with all dogs? Absolutely not. I give any new animal (or person, for that matter) the benefit of the doubt, no matter what prior experiences I've had.
Thing is, cats and dogs are completely different animals. Dogs are generally very dependent but insanely loving and loyal animals. I often liken them to children. Cats are quite independent and their personalities fluctuate wildly, which is why I liken them to adults. Would you go up to another adult, get up in their face and start getting all touchy feely with them out of the blue? No way. They'd move the fuck away and wonder what was wrong with you. It takes a certain finesse to be on good terms with a cat, you have to get on its level and not treat it like you would a dog, because it's simply not going to receive you the same way a dog would in those circumstances.
Holy shit this is almost like that justin.tv viral stream for the movie The Ruins.
Except instead of evil vines it's just a cat :v:
And they say having glasses is a bad thing, it has more upsides than cons.

Now she'll look like an anime badass.

Don't you do that with pretty much every living being in the world?
[QUOTE=Shortyish;45917961]fuck cats[/QUOTE]
hell nah
I could do whatever I wanted to my cat and it wouldn't fight back the poor thing :( then again he did had an accident and lose an eye and half the teeth
on the other hand... the other cat I got... If you even slightly pull her tail or try to grab her, not even doing any kind of force or anything, she will bite and claw your shit son :v:
and I'm sorry but..
"WHAT DO I DO GUYS? D:"
haha... Call 911 maybe? Reminds me of people who are in trouble and instead of calling 911 they resort to tweeting about it
That cat is a dick. My cats would never do such a thing, since they are too busy trying to trip me.

You have no idea what you are talking about so don't even try
I've had Cats for what, 4-5 years? Identifying body language/expressions is piss easy. Massive, fluffed up and straight up tail is pretty bad, and unmissable, as is when they thump it, which tells you they're getting frustrated. The facial expression when they get pissed, particularly in the eyes is unmissable for me. Often their neck cranes back if they want you to stop, and at worst, my cats will paw me once or twice without claws as warning first.
And then there are just common sense, [I]Darwinian process[/I] rules
1) Never put your eyes too close to them, or generally do anything similarly stupid
2) If your cat is relatively new (even up to a year or more) do not pester it and stroke the shit out its back or anything like that. Stroking the head should usually always be fine, but you need to give them time to warm up to stroking the back and other stuff like that. If you do pester them, they'll get more and more pissed each time you do it and it'll be a lot harder for them to accept it fully.
3) Be careful when picking up kittens, their claws are sharp. Always put cats down the moment when they start to struggle.
