Unity comes from sweat and tears in this reality.

I will be more patient. After all I realize he is just playing. I lost an opportunity for more cuddling after that event, by scaring him away. That was what I felt bad for, was the lost opportunity of getting close. I just want to plain be there for him when he needs me.

Though sometimes I'm unpredictable. If he scratches my eye again, I can't be for sure what reflex might happen. I'll instinctively push him away rather than trying to cuddle closer. But perhaps I won't be so aggressive the next time.

What have you found that can you do, in general, that helps to reduce your unpredictable aggression and increase your patience?

Just counting my blessings and being thankful for having him in my life. Stay in the mindset that we are only playing, and not to take any of it seriously. And keep my face away from him so I don't get scratched unintentionally. I think those are a few ways. I wouldn't say I get super aggressive. It's just a one time thing and it's over. I don't harp on him for a long time.
