Vicious Mittens
Mako and I gave our cat Mittens a bath last night and, as predicted, he went EFFIN' CRAZY! I had on my fleece and two layers of gardening gloves so that I could hold his paws and Mako could rub in the flea shampoo. It went alright until Mittens tried to climb up my arm by his teeth! Those sharp fangs went through my fleece and punctured me in about 5-6 spots. Now I have all these painful, swollen puncture marks and it feels bruised. I can't believe how freakin' hard that cat can bite down. I'm not worried about him getting in fights now!
Since I've had some free time today, I've spent way too much time looking up 'cat bite' horror stories. Even though I've cleaned it with rubbing alcohol several times, I'm paranoid and imagining these horrible infections spreading throughout my whole body and totally incapacitating me...
The bite was bad, but it was even worse hearing his hoarse little kitty howl/cry. I've never heard him make that noise and it was so pitiful I just wanted to sob.
Luckily, by the time he had gotten a little dry and settled down he still wanted to rub on us and purr.
In other news, my mom is coming home from a business trip Friday morning, my Dad is going out of town for a week on Friday morning, Ken and Sarah are coming back from their honey moon Saturday, and Eli is coming home Saturday morning!!!!! My family is going to be all over the place this weekend! Not to mention this Saturday I will be going to King's Island with the Hub Club students I've worked with this summer. Whew!
