Seeing Little Wei grab the cat's tail, Ermao laughed and said, "If this were any other cat, it would have slapped you with its paw already, Wei. You need to pay more attention. My wife's relative's child was just like this. The kid was three years old, and no matter what you said, he wouldn't listen. The parents couldn't keep constant watch, and one time, the child ran to grab their cat's tail again and got scratched. You know, kids don't understand their own strength, and the cat's reflexive paw strike drew blood right away. If that child hadn't been wearing several layers, not just his hand, but his arm could have been scratched."
Ermao's words were actually the milder side of things. Such incidents were not rare. It was considered lucky if they just scratched a hand or arm. If it were a face or an eye that got scratched, it would be much worse.
