I was just lying on the sofa minding my own business and half asleep, but Jaffa wasn't having any of that and has been mithering me for supper for some time now. I told him I'd feed him after the film had finished, but he was walking back and forth across me and whining. Eventually he misjudged it and trod on me so that a rear claw got me in the eye. I have a huge gash across the bridge of my nose and an agonising one on my eye lid (Im hoping he has not damaged my eye ball). It hurts like hell and there is so much blood on my tissue I'm amazed there's any left in me.
So why am I feeling bad? It hurt so much I leapt up from the sofa in pain and, after an initial shriek, was pacing up and down the room going "oh jaffa... oh jaffa... that really hurt. you've really hurt mummy.." and ended with him more upset than me! I wasn't actually shouting at him (too shocked to raise my voice or cry) - more moaning in pain - but the poor lad started hissing at me and Mosi and I ended up having to comfort him and give him a webbox treat
I am going to have some explaining to do at work on monday. I look a right sight and the one on my eyelid really hurts. If I hadn't had a similar experience when Mosi scratched me on the lower eye lid a couple of years ago (and know they can't really do anything cos it's too near the eye ball) I'd be off to A&E - it's that sore
