Subject: One of many things you never do? Get between two cats heading into a fight. Or carry over your kitty if you hear howling outside.

Any scars I have from animals (outside of cattle), pretty much come from cats I used to work with and I have to say that in most of those cases, I had no warning. But you do learn to read body language and in some cases, vocabulary in order to anticipate cats who are going to strike or try to nail you because they are mad about seeing another cat.

Our Kandy is a mouthy bitch of a cat, she's tried to intimidate the other cats and dogs with her howls...Indy the kitten soon learned how best to tease her early in the morning while they are waiting for us to wake up (the howls get more histrionic as his teasing gets worse) and Cole has learned to only chase her when she dares enter his domain of our bedroom. The dogs on the other hand mostly ignore her now since they've learned she's most full of HOT AIR.

A good friend had a cat that when I went to his house it was always the cat that sought me out to be stroked. It would even show me its belly to be lightly stroked. But the cat would be enjoying it one moment and in the next just go wild with scratching and biting. I learned to stop after a while before the scratching started, but the cat would always force the isssue seeking out the stroking. I always knew what would eventually come.
