oh, goodness, that reminds me of one of my worst experiences. I was working overtime and when I got home at midnight and opened the door to the apartment, it looked like a scene from a kitty cat slasher movie! My poor furbaby had jumped up on the kitchen counter, knocked a glass off onto the floor and broke it, then jumped down and caught his hind leg on the broken glass and sliced right through his Achilles tendon. (EWW my stomach is turning over just writing about it -- I am SO squeamish). Anyway, there was blood everywhere and little bloody pawprints all over everything -- the couch, the bedspread, the rug, the floor, you name it. Thank goodness it was only a one bedroom apartment! So I load him in the cat carrier and take him in a cab to the animal hospital, they stitch him up and send us home. Got to sleep at 3am and had to get up at 6am to go to work (calling in sick was NOT an option on that job). Don't remember if I cleaned up the blood before I went to sleep. I think so. I'm pretty sure I just threw the bedspread out though!
Anyway, the furbaby klutz was fine. They weren't sure he'd be able to walk without a limp but he healed up okay. I don't think he ever jumped up on the kitchen counter again though!
