With my wife, she grabs with barely any claw out but with me, since I let her go in deep when she was a little kitten, I get small temporary scars which don't bother me at all. She also does it when she sees I'm about to leave for a long trip to indicate she doesn't want me to go.
    My trick to escape the kill zone of the belly ambush is to blow air in their face. They get away quick. [emoji1787]

    Didn't really want a cat but couldn't tell my wife and daughter no. My daughter is pretty allergic to cats so I figured it'd work itself out. Turns out she is not allergic to this guy at all and now he's my best bud.

    It also sounds a lot nicer than "damn cat crapping all over the place," but it means the same thing.

    And autocorrect got me again. I meant that to say "mittening"

    You are right, though. We had a cat who resorted to that... but indoors. It was exasperating, to say the least. Thankfully it was short-lived.

    Wish I had a picture, but this was before cell phones had cameras. Our little cat was 5 pounds of meanness. We accidentally locked her in a bedroom closet for 5 days and not only did she survive, I think she actually smiled at us when we got home and let her out.

    Loved to kill birds off the feeder. Left dead rabbits on the back porch for sport.

    Got the picture?

    The cat loved to play in her water bowl. I'd fill it, as soon as I left the room I'd hear splashing sounds. Water all over the linoleum in the laundry room. I was sick of cleaning it up. Cats have zero guilt. She'd turn tail and trot out the cat door. One day, I caught her in the act. I locked the cat door, filled the water bowl and listened from my office. When she started splashing, I sprinted to the laundry room and the cat crashed face first into the locked cat door. I picked her up by the scruff, she made lots of scary angry-cat sounds, and I mopped the floor with her. Literally. Flipped her over and mopped with the other side, then slid her towards the door and unlocked the cat door.

    That was the last time she played in the water bowl.

    I forget what she peed on the next day (my luggage, IIRC). But we called a truce after that.

    When I was very small, we had two dobermans and a tom cat. Tom cat would come flying over the fence chased by other cats. The dobermans would remind the other cats that this was a bad idea. They couldn't stand the tom cat, but he was their tom cat.
