[color=green]As-salaam aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,[/color]

 [color=blue]I hope everyone is having a great Ramadan!!! Some of you all know I am leaving tomorrow for Dubai to meet my fiancee and his family. I have been waiting for this day since February and inshallah we will be married while I am visiting or when I make the permanent move around the end of this winter. I am excited, nervous, and even more excited!!! Unfortunately, I did not study Arabic much even though I have bought a ton of material to learn.... I was just too lazy with work and all... ahh well... but, I am just mad at what happened the day before yesterday..... I posted this in another board too cuz I just need to let off some steam!![/color]


[color=purple] I was on the computer browsing around on a sisters message board and my cat was playing around in my lap and on the computer table. Then she was trying to go on top of the computer or something but I told her "no" and grabbed her. I unfortunately grabbed her awkwardly and although I would have caught her, she must have thought she was falling because she tried to catch herself....... on my face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/color]

[color=black]... :( now I have a lovely bright [/color][size=24][color=red]red [/color][/size][color=black]scratchmark from the middle of my forehead all the way down to the tip of my nose. Lovely, just LOVELY!!!![/color]

Br. good point but perhaps not the best wording or timing.

Sr. try rubbing arnica cream onto the scratch mark it's the fastest acting cream I know for bruises and scratches, other than that just let your face breathe, this means don't try and hide it by caking on make-up it'll only make it worse.
Inshallah your face will be fine by the time you get to your finace's. BTW we're going to Dubai too, we're flying out on new years eve.

Love & Duaas

No offense taken at all bro!!    I would laugh about it if it had happened to him!!  You gotta have fun with the timing of things that happen if its not major you know!!

 I was just out shopping getting gifts for the family and I was wondering the whole time if anyone automatically thought it came from me as a Muslim woman being abused or something... I am sure they were just staring at my scratch, but you never know what goes through peoples' minds you know?

 Thanks for the advice on what to do... I know I just have to give it time to heal... hope it goes away quickly... I'll be there for 3 weeks so inshallah I'll have a scratch-free face by the time I leave!!!

i better say 1st off ,  i cannot stand cats.  But be careful.  Cat scratch fever can be a serious thing.  I am not sure how long before it takes effect, but my wifes grandfather almost died from it.

I heard the probability increases with the number of cats. ;)

 Lets see... throughout my life I've probably had over 12 cats.  Only a few of the scratches from these cats were from anger, though... most of them come from rough play.  Right now I only have one cat.  She is a needy cat so I don't think I could get another, she would get jealous I think.

Sis Ameera,

Everything will turn out fine, Biidhnillah.  Wishing you the best of luck in your plans and in Dubai too.  Your face will heal!  Follow Fozia's advise.

My Dad used to love cats and there were like more than a dozen in our house.  He would feed them with bolws of milk, meat and whatever else they would need.  We used to look forward to when they would have their kittens!  It was always an amazing sight and the kittens just lovely.

Again, all the best!

Halima
