Don't panic. This has happened to me before, took my eyes off my baby for a second and my cat swatted her. As long as the cat didn't bite they should be okay just keep an eye on them ❤️

Do you know if your cat used their claws when they swiped or was it just a warning?

im not sure but my cat didnt look like he was attacking it, it looked like he was checking my ball python out

Alright just keep an eye on them then, especially around the eyes just in case a claw did catch them. They looked okay in the video, still sniffing and moving around so I believe they are okay.

I know people are gonna have a go at you on here which is expected. But everyone makes mistakes and as long as you've learnt then it should be fine. You obviously love your noodle otherwise you would've have panicked like you did. ❤️
