My young dog gets whacked for no apparent reason sometimes. The one cat has just gone psycho. She was loving on the dog a couple of weeks ago while they both laid on my chest. Suddenly the cat whacks the dog on the nose with her claws out, for no apparent reason. The dog took it for a second and I tried to push the cat away, but the cat attacked again, and the dog snarled and snapped at her. THEN, the cat turned and purposely slashed me across the face, as if I were somehow the cause of the problem. I have actually tried to find her a new home, but turns out, you should wait to ask someone if they want a cat until your slashed-up face heals.
