Ow, ow, ow

In all the years I've owned cats, I've never had injuries to my feet. This one is from vacuuming barefoot a week ago.

Pudge hides under the bed and as you head into the bedroom with the vacuum, she dashes out and runs to another hiding spot.

This particular day she happened to run over my foot. (yeah, my toes are really freaky - sorry bout that for those of you with a foot thing - it's my monkey toe given to me by my paternal gramma and my pa... those crazy Germans) The next one happened today - JUST as the other bloody scratch had healed.

I play "catch the feathers on a stick" with the kitties in the morning... Itty Bitty was hiding behind me as I sat on the floor and somehow ran over my foot, clearly digging in, (told you she was bloodthirsty) in her frenzy to catch the feathers on a stick...


I'm gonna go buy me some steel toe boots today....

Ouch! I think toe injuries are the worst. Hope it heals quickly.

Love the nail polish! Love green.

Wow those cats!!! OMGosh on the German toe thing..I am also part German and on my right foot my middle toe is the same small size as my little toe...I went for years not wearing sandels etc for fear someone would see...My Grandmother tells me that when my great grandmother was pregnant with my grandfather she was chopping wood and chopped off that toe. Of course we all know that couldnt be the reason for my toe right??? Ahem. Anyway, anymore I dont care. It is what it is...

Cats, you gotta love 'em. Pretty Penny and Bitty Buddha haven't gotten me lately, but Rosie tries to sleep right next to me and he drools.
