Warning: Kinda gross pic below. Man or woman the heck up and just look at it.
Hello! How is your day going?
Mine has been kind of crazy. That’s why I’m late posting today. Sometimes I’m late posting because I’m running all day or eating all day but today I actually have an excuse.
Remember Ben? Well – get a good look at him because he’s a goner.
Last night Ben came home super late. Vegas and I were just hanging out on the couch almost asleep. Ben sat down on the couch to take off his shoes and the way he flicked them off scared the crap out of Vegas and he jumped off me and onto Ben’s head and ran off. It was like the fastest cat ninja jump!
Then, we realized Ben’s ear was bleeding. A lot. He must have caught it with his claw and sliced right through the middle!! It was gross. And I thought he would need stiches but I’m lucky to have one friend and that one friend is a NP so I sent over some pictures and she told me Ben needed an ear transplant. So, if anyone wants to donate one that’d be great.
This is after we sopped up the blood. Note the hangy piece.
After consulting “How to tell if your cat is trying to kill you” I know he is.
The killer:
I felt bad so I made Ben some epic pancakes this morning… recipe coming!
Then, I went for a run in a new area because of a car situation.
Other eating stuff – yesterday I had the most delicious mango. This is like nature’s candy!!
If you don’t know how to cut mangoes check out my quick and easy video!
How to Cut a Mango
Question: Should Vegas be grounded or do you think it was an accident?
Glad to see Ben is still around. Get rid of the cat though. 😀
Ben now has a scar story. “What’s that cut on your ear, Ben?” “Dude – I totally got attacked by the MMA fighter, “El Gato”! I shouldn’t have snuck up on him like I did. Seriously, cat-like reflexes that El Gato…..”
Ha! Love it.
Poor Ben, but cute picture! Glad he (and his ear) survived!
Nice pict of you and your man. You make a cute couple.
Agree that mango is natures candy! It’s what I eat when I’m trying to kill my sweet tooth!
Your timing on the mango cutting video could not be better. I attempted to cut up a mango to put in my smoothie this morning, failed miserably, and gave up.
I have one mango left… I will attempt your method tomorrow!
Awww…but look at the shame or guilt that Vegas is displaying. I’d let this first assassination attempt fly as a defense mechanism. He was protecting you from flying shoes, he had to do something and attack the ears is the first line of defense against shoes, don’t you know?
Sounds like a failed assassination attempt. The other day my cat woke me up by tufting my head. I’m pretty sure she was trying to smother me in my sleep 😉
Oh dear! How’s Ben today?
That’s hilarious!!! The cat was scared and jumped on his head for protection! It’s a love scar!
Ouch! I think Vegas was just scared and naturally reacted quickly, which ended up causing the accident!
If it happens again, then I’d say Vegas has it in for Ben, otherwise I would chalk it up to bad timing. 😉
Also, those pancakes look amazing!
you need to post more pics with Ben and stop me from assuming bad things 😉
Awww Vegas does look guilty but I think that he was just scared 🙂 But, I am a cat lover so I am probably just sticking up for him!
I want some mango so badly! That looks delicious!
Bad kitty!!!
Would you like to replace him with another orange tabby? jk (I have to find a home for my 2 cats, one of which is a sweet, simple-minded orange boy and I don’t know where to begin.)
I’ve had a couple injuries thanks to scaredy cats – my mom’s old cat put her nail through my lip once… and yet I still love cats.
My SIL has a crazy cat.
We were doing the piñata thing for her daughter’s bday party and the cat jumped on this little girl’s back and tried to bite her neck. He was latched on, I had to pull him off.
She ended up with a minor scratch on her ear. And I’m pretty sure that cat is going to be fixed.
Cats react in such a defensive way when they are vulnerable. My friends cat would attack you if you tried to pet her tummy.
They don’t ever feel bad either. But then they cuddle up to you and purr and you just can’t be mad.
Tell Vegas to wear ear muffs to bed to keep his ears safe in case Ben wants to retaliate. Lol.
Omg I could picture how cute Vegas would look with ear muffs…I digress…
Awe he got scared.. probably in a deep sleep. He should be granted a reprieve.
Vegas should at the very least get probation. That’s some serious nastiness. However I’m not a cat person so maybe I’m a little harsh. Def no wet food for that cray cray kitty 😉
I’m pretty sure it a well thought out planned attack. I’d let it go this time… 🙂
Monica!!!! You can’t punish Vegas! You remember that cat, Tara, that came to the rescue of his child owner from that vicious dog (attack)?! Get the house cleaned chica! I’m pretty sure the Today Show will be by for an interview. #VegasForDaWin
Oh man. I hope all involved are ok.
Yeah I’m pretty sure the cat was just scared. But that website IS hilarious. You should also youtube “banecat.” 🙂
Vegas looks so guilty and sad in the pic!
My adorable, sweet, loving Lab nipped at me last weekend – it made me scream and jump (even though no skin was broken/I wasn’t injured). He had something near his eye and I went to flick it off his head and I think I just took him by surprise so he reacted the way he did. Accidents happen.
