Although Pluto had previously escaped the narrator's drunken fury, one night he was not so lucky. He had taken to avoiding the narrator because of his drunkenness, which the narrator was conscious of, but one night the narrator did not appreciate that fact, so he grabbed Pluto and picked him up. Of course, it is never wise to pick up a cat which does not want to be picked up, and the narrator learned that lesson when Pluto scratched him because of it. The narrator was furious about this, so he pulled his pen knife from his pocket and cut out one of the eyes of the cat. When he woke up the next morning, he did feel slightly horrified by what he had done and a bit guilty. After that, Pluto went running away in terror from the narrator whenever he came near.
