Just kicked the cat. She jumped from the office chair onto the printer that sits on the bedside table. Her plan was to then jump onto me & say hello.
But the MacBook Pro intervened. It was on top of the printer. The second jump lost any elegance or accuracy when the MBA slid off the printer to the floor between the bad & table, taking the cat with it. A natural cat reaction is to extend the claws & hang onto something.
Something like a bare human leg.
Which hurt at the time and still does some minutes later.
The computer is OK, the only moving parts are the keys & the hinge and the lid was closed.
I'd only just disconnected the MagSafe 1 power connection when the incident occurred.
Kicking thw cat was a natural human reaction to the attack pounce.
