Only the bad cat owners. The good ones can predict when there's mischief in their eye.

The good ones also don´t do things to their cats without the cats consent. I guess that's a good approach with most species - probably even humans

Yeah lol although I wouldn't necessarily classify them as bad owners, but I agree the "random" bites and scratches usually have some good indication ahead of time.

The cat I raised doesn't really scratch but will swat. Now that she is a senior I even feel comfortable doing the under blanket play because she stays gentle and recognizes it is still me.

Now my partner's cat though... I dont get hurt by him often at all cuz body language, but he will legitimately walk up to my partner and just leap into the air and grab on. Or walk up and bite. Kitty just loves being a jackass with him but normal with me.

Bruh I was dead asleep when I had my toes attacked by one cat and my face attacked by the other.

Your own fault for having a face and toes and dangling both in front of feral killers. Also, they wanted food and you chose to selfishly indulge in resting your body while your superiors literally fought starvation with their last bit of strength left. I also assume the bottom of the feeding bowl was visible, you monster! You probably deserve everything you got.
