TIFU - By trying to put a flea collar on the cat.

I have a lovely cat, Yuki, and we decided to get a cat flap installed so that he could have access to the outside and explore. Of course, him being allowed out means he has the potential to pick up all kinds of crawlers we've been lucky enough to avoid before - mainly fleas.

I decided the time was ripe to fit a flea collar on him now that he was able to roam out and about. Yuki was not at all co-operative, so I decided the smart course of action was to trap him in the living room, and try and get a hold of him when he was relaxed and snoozing under the table.

Door shut, cat asleep, it was time to put my plan into action. I approached the coffee table, and squatted down to pick him up and collar, only to screech in pain. I was given a two foot high ornamental ceramic pig for christmas (I collect pig ornaments), and in the process of squatting for the cat, managed to puncture a bum cheek on his right ear (it wasn't sharp, but I'm not a small girl, and I squatted with some force and speed!)

Blood was drawn, many tears were shed, the £340 sofa is now stained from where I sat down in shock and the cat remains proudly uncollared.
