Cat accidents are common and it's probably because their curious nature and tendency to investigate their surroundings make them prone to injuries and accidents. But sometimes, it's us humans that cause those accidents, like with Reddit user, io3401, as an example.

Her cat, Bones, has breathing problems, according to her vet and she might have been dropped by her mother cat when she was young. So that's probably why among all the cat siblings, she is the slowest to catch on to things.

One morning, her owner was going to throw a popsicle wrapper in the trash. Bones, being able to fit in her palm, accompanied her.

The owner was holding the trash and kitty using one hand only. The original poster only meant to throw the popsicle wrapper in the garbage but unfortunately, she didn't notice that she threw Bones with it.

After the incident, the original poster's favorite cat did not go near her for a couple of days, but Bones eventually warmed back up to her. She attempted to clean the cat, but as soon as Bones heard the water, she scratched her owner.

So she's left with two things: an infected, pus-filled wound and a sense of guilt over what happened. What was Reddit's reaction to this incident?
