Hi my little stinker loves cuddles and sleeping on chest. He doesn't notice the massive pain I feel when he steps directly on the fracture. How do I train him not to sleep on my sling side? I threw him off of me when he caused a jab of pain throughout my body but that was mean and he didn't learn to be gentle. ,

You are already capable of communicating to your cat that you are in pain. Be honest. Make sounds of pain when they hurt you, the same way you would train a kitten not to bite or claw with malice. Your cat will understand. Just don't get angry. It's easy for cats to forget about empathy in the face of anger.
