[quote=Anonymous]I'm sure this was a scary incident for both you and your toddler but hopefully it taught everyone a lesson and won't happen again. I was raised with multiple cats and got my share of scratches from feisty cats when I was likely annoying them. I survived and continued to love cats, work in a vet's office and grow up to have my own cats. The thing about having animals is that you have to accept that they are animals and aren't going to behave the way you want at all times. Yes, a cat scratch could have been much worse had it been in the eye but it wasn't. So now you can use this as a lesson and work on teaching the toddler how to treat the cat. Not saying you haven't already done this by the way. I have a 19-month-old so I know how hard it is and I'm constantly monitoring my son's behavior around the animals. None of this is your fault and you don't need to give the cat away unless you decide that's absolutely what you want to do. Try working on it some more and accept that co-existing sometimes means these things happen. My 12-year-old cat tried to bite me when I was cutting his nails last night. I'm not giving him away but I'm definitely careful when I do things like that with him now. Good luck![/quote]
