Kinda gross, I guess. Involves hangnail-level injuries.

What you need to know is that our cat Nicky tends to have most of the same annoying habits I've got (and Nora's got most of Lis's, for that matter).  And my feet can get so dry and bashed up that they can crack and start bleeding.

 

As far as we can tell, I didn't actually cut Nicky to the quick while trimming his claws.  I think what happened was he split a nail while scratching the scratching post.  It's not causing him any distress, but he left little tiny bloody pawprints across the sheets of the bed.

 

The thing is... you can't really tell, because they just blend in with my stigmata...
