My Dad was sleeping at my house one time and my cat trinity came into the living room as my dad was sleeping and snoring, my husband Eric was getting ready for work when he sees trinity jump right on my dads head with all four paws and scratched him all up?? My dad hated my cat after that but it sure brings a laugh to me everytime.
