my poor cat Merlin has trauma around paper bags from when he was just a kitten and jumped into a paper bag and he didn’t know yet about things like momentum and inertia and the fact that a paper bag is a very light object.

he made a terrible miscalculation.

he flew right into the paper bag at top speed and the paper bag kept going at top speed, smack into a wall. because my boy has a charmed life, that’s One Of The Worst Things That Ever Happened To Him. now whenever he hears paper bags he gets scared, though.

#the other worst thing was when I accidentally ALMOST ran over his tail with my office chair #it's when he was extremely small and little #I think the office chair juuust got a couple of his tail furs and he SCREAMED bloody murder #he also um. well he *expressed* himself.#as in he expressed his stink glands #the only time he has ever done that #and BOY was that bad #he ran away under the couch and I would have let him be but I had to fish him out to make sure the poor thing wasn't hurt at all #I checked him over and he was all fine but he sure got freaked out #BUT he did learn a valuable lesson from that #now he's careful not to hang out around my office chair when I'm scooching #but I was SOBBING because I felt TERRIBLE #the way he screamed I was sure I'd REALLY hurt him but he was alright #just quite shaken #poor tender little thing #he trusts me now at least #even after all that
