Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Exactly, erika. I promised him an essay on "fandom family" and that's what I'll give him.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I've never trimmed any of my cats' claws. They have to file them down on the furniture.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

It's 70 and I had to run the ac in the car. Tomorrow, sleet. I guess I'll clean house.

Hey, you've got our weather a day later! It was 68 yesterday, and about 63 at midnight -- and 35 by 6 am. BONKERS. Possible sleet later, which I hope holds off until I take the kitty to the vet.

Pictures, or it didn't happen, Teppy. (Hair not ingrown claw).

I put one on FB.

I confess to being relieved I don't have to worry about wrestling with Shadow to get his claws trimmed. He was horrible about it.

Tim can generally get Slinky's claws trimmed, because she likes to sit on his lap, and he just does one paw at a time. But I think she may not be so compliant when the vet is dealing with an ingrown claw. But the good thing is, a vet knows how to deal with a pissed-off cat.

Gracie's claws would get so long she would get caught on stuff but I never could get more than one or two cut before she turned into a ball of fury.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I always figured the trimming was for my benefit, not the cat's.

Slinky's old claw sheath usually just pops off (which is a little unnerving, to find a "claw" on the couch -- at first I thought it was her actual claw, ripped out, but the interwebs informed me about the old claw sheath dealie). And the weird thing is, none of her other claws are even *close* to long enough to become ingrown. I have no idea what happened with this one.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

It's an evil claw.

I was wondering why it said "KILL KILL KILL KILL" on the litter box.

Our wings are not tired.

Better Monday than usual. First, the weather is glorious and the open sliders and windows are making me good moody. Second, I got my tree finished and it is pretty and smells nice. Then best news, the poor super unhappy truck that was towed home after self destructing on Thanksgiving will be okay. The horrible noise and smoke was one of the brand new injectors that failed. Covered by warranty!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I think maybe you did need to know that.

I don't have *time* to know that! ::weeps::

Tep, when Mo was still around, one of her claws got ingrown. I think we'd somehow missed it when trimming them. I felt like the worst cat owner ever.
