No cats were injured by this FU.

This didn't happen today, but it's haunted me long enough that I feel like I should share it.

My cat is very chill, fairly affectionate, and loves to snuggle. She also has the unfortunate habit of needing to walk around a fair bit before she settles, and no sense of personal space. She loves it when my partner and I settle down for the night, as that is a prime opportunity to pick the best spot to occupy.

Often, in the morning, as we're waking up and starting to move around, she'll get disturbed and need to find a new spot to occupy.

On the morning in question, as part of her patrol for new nap spot, she basically walked across my head. This wasn't the first time. Still half asleep, and quite irritated, I put my hand under her and pushed up and toward the foot of the bed. I meant to toss her a foot or less. Unfortunately, I totally misjudged the force, and launched her off the bed and into the far wall, a distance of about 2.5m/8ft.

Hearing her collide with the wall (thankfully not hard) was sickening, I was fully awake immediately, and went to check on her. Fortunately she was fine, but VERY offended, and it took a while for her to forgive me.

Now when she walks on my head I gently pick her up and set her down elsewhere.

TL;DR: Cat walked on my head, in my half asleep state I launched her across the room.
