A cat, a tail, and an ankle

Ok then, it's 2:30 am in my part of the world as I type, why am I awake?
There was an incident.
Got up to go to the bathroom and stopped to turn off my TV which I had left on, I fell asleep watching DVD. DIdn't notice that my cat Ginger was there and I stepped on her tail. By stepped I mean I felt something furry under my foot, thought it was a toy, felt the "toy" twitch and realized it was her tail. I was on it so lightly she didn't even know it till I said "oh sorry sweety, your tail!" She THEN let out a hiss and ran across the room, ran back toword me and I scooped her up and gave her "Im sorry for stepping on your tail" kisses and put her down. Proceded on to where I was going, and she SWATTED me on my ankle, no claws out but enough in the dim light to make me now trip over my own feet and fall and turn that same ankle!
I now am wide awake in the wee hours of the morning with an ice pack on my ankle, she is looking at me with big innocent eyes.
I never get too mad at her, bless her goof ball fuzzy butt, but OUCH!!!!!

My cats don't stay indoors overnight, so luckily I don't get woken up by Arwen unless someone nips downstairs during the night and lets her in..she will hammer at the door with her forepaws (or mew at the top of her lungs) until I wake up..or at least 'til my sister in the room next door wakes up first!

LOL I'm sorry for your pain, but that's awesome. I love cats that have that personality in them. I love how she hissed AFTER the fact. That's great, it reminds me of toddlers at work LOL How they're only hurt if someone says something about it.

I hope you'll be okay!!!

Thanks, its doing alright, pain killers are a wonderful thing! (its not broken, but a nasty sprain)
And yep, thats exactly what that reminded me of, a todler, like when they fall down and wait till someone is looking at them before they start to cry!
