Cat Scratch Fever

Angelo, my cat...the best cat in the world, has left
all marked up. He doesn't have front claws, but he
does have back claws. Being that I'm his sole
companion (and him mine by the way) he likes to cling
to me, to sit on my lap, and to climb up my chest and
put his head and front paws over my shoulder. All of
this leads to him digging his rear claws into me.
So I have long scratches on my legs, arms, and chest.
A lot of them are 3 or 4 inches, from times when he
tried jumping up on me but didn't get good footing
and slid down whatever part of my body he was
clinging to. I suppose its his way of telling me I
need to clip his nails (I hate doing that).
