Awe, nobody should laugh when you’re in pain. They should help. And I have anxious animals. I think they come to me because they know I get it. My dog is very anxious and has serious abandonment issues (same girl, same), but she’s so sweet. She did tear up a bit of the wood in the house when I first got her and had to go anywhere. It’s on the list. (Note to self, make a list.)
She gets super hyper and lately she’s been almost aggressive toward the cats—too playful. One, Maddie, she is finally being okay with—their early antagonism has softened into a game where well, no, Maddie still claws the crap out of her. She just teases the dog and if the dog responds, she gets smacked. It’s not ideal. And then we have Max. He’s a tuxedo cat and I call him Tuxedo Max to my great delight. He and Izzy, the dog—about 60 lbs, bounce out of the house together like Mylo and Otis. She can sometimes be too rough with Max, but they’re besties who love each other and it’s cute. She will wag her tail while she plays with it. We have a house of love. But certainly a bit of chaos. And I understand how cats can be. I have my own cat like ways. But I will say it sounds like your cat has just the right daddy for him. That’s so sweet. I love it. It made me think of something that made me happy.
I must have the same condition your wife has because I laughed so hard reading your story. I have a cat who freaks out and knocks over anything in her path the minute the vacuum cleaner is moved. Not even turned on, although she hates that. But she wants to get as far from that sucker as possible before it even comes to that and is willing to take down anyone or anything that gets in her way. But I overlook this because she’s my BFFF (Best furry friend forever!)😆😻
I have a black cat who gets spooked quite easily and perpetual marks on my legs from his launches.
It's a thing.

Thanks for sharing something from your life! 🙏🐈⬛
Did you ever find out what made the cat jump? Good story. Thanks.
Still have no idea.
It was funny to picture what you described, -- blood, chaos and all.
Cat owners have stories to tell. But they do keep us in stitches in more than one way. Love the story!
Haha! Great story. As someone who shares their home with five rescue cats, I can fully relate.
I love this story. And I also understand the laughing condition your wife has. 🤣🤣
Cosmo sounds like a real rascal. Haha.
I like this. I am forever on the fence about getting a cat, this did not help (but I still like it).
Cats, huh? What are you going to say. Alls quiet until it’s not.

I loved reading this, I could visualise every moment, and I’m still smiling- thank you for sharing. He’s a beautiful cat 😻
I needed this laugh thank you. 🙏
Cosmo is a perfection.
