I still expect to see the kitten sticking its tongue out at poor Carly.
Or the classic “two digits pointed at their own eyes and then pointed at Carly” move 😀
The first of those is a lot easier to pull of in a single panel. 😉
Ahh the angry kitten “You will not live with my dishonor!” look.
And the answer to Luna’s question is very easily. While kittens may not be very big their claws are shaped than needles and holding onto them when they don’t want to be held is rather like trying to hold one of those toys filled with a viscose liquid that rolls through your hands. If you don’t know to grab the scruff, you are going to get mauled. I even have a pair of scars from fangs that demonstrate that scruffing them is no guarantee either.
I adopted 3 kittens last year. That summer I had to wear heavy denim or canvas pants, AND long underwear, in the hottest part of the year, because they all thought I was the most fun thing to climb in the house. It’s spring again, and the year-old cats are a bit more settled. I think I might brave shorts this year. Last year though… I used to complain about the college students living above me, who had loud parties in the wee hours of the night, because as much as I hope they enjoy their college years, it’s really hard to get up at 6am when the dance party happening over your bedroom didn’t settle down until 3am. Last year they got to hear random screams of pain and surprise at all hours of the day, and a couple difficult nights.
“How does anyone get mauled by a kitten?” Luna, you sweet summer child, “by living with a kitten.”
The year my mum got two kittens, I bought my step-dad bicycle clips for Christmas. He hadn’t ridden a bike for decades…
Past personal experience, both from being the amanuensis to many cats over the years, spending time as a Speaker to Feral Cats, and running a no kill shelter – IF you have to grab one, get both the scruff AND both back legs in one swell foop.
This maneuver will cut down on the damage on both sides of the grip!
To be honest before this occasion I’d never had one escape from a quick scruff and lift off the ground. I still swear he managed to turn inside his skin to sink his fangs into my hand. I was fortunate he missed the blood vessels the two scars rest perfectly between them.
