am i bleeding?

I was just viciously attacked by our cat. I was laying on the floor with Finny draped across my stomach. We were playing a game and Finny was having great fun laughing and giggling. Zodie wanted to join in on the fun though and climbed on my chest. I started to pet her. Now, Finny LOVES Zodie. Zodie, however, does not love Finley. Well, Finny wanted in on the fun and started petting Zodie too and grabbed her tail, which by the way was swatting him in the face. She just got her haircut so there is a nice poof on the end of her tail....perfect for little hands to grab onto. When she clued in to exactly who was pulling her tail, she started growling AT ME....her face was about 1 inch from my face. I started trying to get Finley to let go, but as you know, little hands turn into little fists and they don't let go. Zodie started hissing at me and swatting me in the face with her paws (luckily she is declawed). I pulled harder on Finny's hands and Zodie pulled harder to get away while hissing, growling, and batting at me. It turned into a big game of tug-of-war that Finley was having fun with. This was the closest he had ever been to Zodie and he was loving her soft fur. I don't have to tell you how Zodie felt. When I finally got Finny to let go, we were all 3 out of breath. Zodie from hissing, growling, batting and pulling; me from dodging paws and pulling; Finny from laughing. I love to hear him laugh, but maybe I can just make a funny face of something and not come away with bruises or smelling like cat breath.

Glad to hear that you and Finn came out of the Battle of Zode alright. At least she didn't go after Finn, right?
