Every single cat owner I’ve ever known.
And we LOVE our cats for it. Such cuties. (He says with scars on his arms)
I actually used the excuse “I fell into some brush” to explain the scratches on my arms to a coworker. I don’t think they bought it.
"it was my cat" has always been a valid reason for me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I wasn't open about my habit at the time.
Everything can be fine 97% of the time, but it only takes a second to get fucked up by a cat's razor-sharp claws or fangs. Then it takes weeks to heal. Fewer declawed cats now, too.
