I have been training my cat to walk on the harness. I have taken him down the basement steps before on the harness. Today however, we had a horrible thing happen. He slipped and I don't know what happened but he hit the ground hard and then was screaming bloody murder and was jumping -- obviously making it worse. I had to get it off. So I put my hands down there and they got bit, HARD. FULL MOUTH, Clamp, like there was no tomorrow. I can't tell you how horrible it was he was jumping like a jumping bean and each time he would scream like he was being sliced every time he landed. I still don't know what happened.

I got it off, he went running. He appears to be ok. I am not.

I sustained 4 large bites to my hands. Both on the outer fingers -- thumb and pinky. I had to go to the ER and get antibiotics. Both fingers have swollen up so bad I can hardly use them. Very painful.

At first I was very angry at me and at my cat.. but when I got home from the doctor my cat rolled over and spread out his legs, telling me, i think, he was ok and wanted to make up.

It was just horrible.
