Anyway, I had a cat who will scratch each other faces.

I don't think this chimp thought about where to attack... he just wanted to attack and her face just happened to be there.

I had cats who scratch near my eye before (a toddler). and our kitty scratch our son's eye when he was toddler . My husband's face got bitten on the face by a dog (he was a toddler as well). I think the reason they went after toddler's face because it is the easiest access to it... you know we all look at cute little animals and our face just happen to be there for them to attack.
