Happy Birthday, Sean!!!
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

I saw that swing, Robin, and the first thing I wondered was if it would fit on my balcony. But then Beverly had to start talking about freakish winds and scared me. I guess I will remain swingless. I do think I need to find some kind of canopy/umbrella for the balcony, though. It faces west and gets very, very hot in the afternoon, which is prime balcony sitting time.

Sophia, sorry to hear about your cat. Please do NOT neglect your wounds -- deep cat bites have a marked tendency to turn septic, you should SEE a DOCTOR and GET antibiotics ASAP. Please do this.
One of my kidhood cats suddenly turned vicious -- the best the vet could tell us was that it was probably an epileptic-type reaction, only instead of having a seizure, the cat's switch went over to "attack anything moving." Alas, we had to have poor Nicki put down, because there was no way to guarantee it against happening again.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Thanks sue, Tom and Theo:
I posted a few more details, copied from Bitches.
They seem to think that something went wrong with his nuetering and he really didn't like being indoors. He has been attacking me a lot lately. He actually attacked me inside, so we went for a walk outside, which is wear he attacked me the first time. He went up on my porch, I thought he wanted to go in, and he came at me so hard I fell to the ground and couldn't get him detached from my leg. I went upstair to get a water bottle, wnt on to my porch, and he cam out of nowhere, again, knockimg me to the ground and this time puyncturing the skin on my hand deep enough that I could see my innards. The spray bottle didn't work. At this point, since he was on the porch, I feared he would attack someone else, which is why I called.
I am just heartbroken, though. When the people came, I felt like a battered woman, and I had to call him so they could catch him.
I cleaned my wounds pretty well, and applied iodine, which all the nurses tell me id the thing (neosporin is bad. I am actually hoping to make it until one of the nurses I work with can look at it and prescribe me something. I think most of the pain is due to the tendon thing, and the fact that the wounds are on bendy bits. I have about 30 - 40 distinct scrtched on my right ankle!

Oh, shit, Sophia. Please go to the ER to get antibiotics if you can't get them otherwise.

Yeah, what with it being the weekend and all -- time is of the essence. Even if you could go to an Urgent Care place... does your university have a health service thingy?
I'm devastated for you, I truly am. I know you must feel, because I'm sure you love your kitty the way I do mine.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Cat scratch fever is a real thing. I hope you can get some antibios, Sophia.

Sophia, that is awful. I am so sorry. As others urged, please get to a Dr. and have them look at your wounds. Getting an infection, or worse, could be very bad.
