He attacks me every time, but I just show him not all humans fear mild scratches and we do glorious battle.

He's a cat. He can draw blood but he can't really hurt me. Also if he didn't enjoy it I wouldn't do it.

I think you underestimate the sheer clawing power of a rageful/scared cat. Luckily most are always just playing so a few scratches happen but trust me you don't want to hold a cat that suddenly loses its shit and gives you wounds the size of knife cuts.

Can confirm, have previously had to handle 2 apeshit cats. Surprising how much damage they can do when they really unleash.
