A few years my cat was feeling a little moody and decided to take a swipe at me. Unfortunately, since his claws were removed (previous owner!), his "swipes" involve teeth, and he took am inch-tall tear from my cheekbone, just under my eye. 

The doctor pushed the loose flap of skin back up onto the flash, and put a couple thin lines of tape over it. A visible scab quickly formed. And let me tell you, for the three months that the scab held there until it finally fell off, I experienced more come-hither looks than I thought possible.

Turns out that <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/science/sciencenews/3463442/Facial-scars-can-help-win-a-womans-heart..html">it wasn't just me!</a>. coda: unfortunately, I have superhuman healing powers, and the scar has disappeared without a trace.
