My cat always enjoyed being nerfed, though the nerf rarely survived being catted.

tarchon, you complete me.

Err, what was I saying?
Oh yeah.
I had a friend in high school who was holding her pet cat when something startled it. It ended up clawing or biting her forehead. The mark was small but within a day her forehead had swollen badly and she spent a few days in the hospital. That was just from one little wound.

I've been bitten and clawed by any number of cats over the years, including some pretty impressive wounds, such as the time Puddy (when a kitten) pounced on my bottom lip while I was sleeping or the time Weebil (when weighing about 16 pounds), at a full run, scaled me like I was a tree.

Despite this, I've never had a single infection from any cat-inflicted injury (or at least no infections worth remembering).

Absolutely. I nerf mine all the time. Particularly when she claws the couch.

I prefer to use a Ballzooka (tm) . I find that it helps balance the Commoner/Housecat inequities very nicely.

I've learned that the cat will probably freeze in stunned terror for the first 3-4 balls, so I don't lead her as much for the first few shots. After that I just open up on full-auto, counting on "volume of fire" to do the trick.

YMMV :D

Why this isn't an olympic sport, I've yet to figure out.

Different people have different resistances in their constitutions.

For example, I get the common cold quite often - every time it "does the rounds" actually, and plenty of times when nobody else I know has it.

I also get over it fairly quickly and never get infections either.
