Fang You, Fang You Very Much

The clawmarks on my hand aren't even visible this morning, and the bite on my butt is progressing nicely. Two of the chomp-holes are barely noticeable; I'm keeping my eye on the third, as it's ever so slightly tender.

I am aware that cat bites are not to be joked around with; I'm also aware that I'm not particularly sensitive to cat bites, nor prone to infection. I have the immune system that keeps me perpetually sniffling (whee, allergies), but not catching every bug that goes around. If having a hair-trigger immune system keeps me from having to do any more than wash off a cut, and the price is a sniffly nose, then I think I'll keep the sniffly nose.

The thing that cat bites and scratches carry mostly is the toxoplasma parasite -- which, in all likelihood, you and I already have, as do, like, 90% of people in France.

For a few old people, infirm people, and infants, it's dangerous. For the rest of us, it creates subtle and vaguely disturbing changes in personality.

I have come to terms with cats as the Secret Masters, by now, and serve willingly . . .

. . . more like 70% of people in France. Sorry. I should never trust news stories.

I noticed something from that. The guilt-feelings indicator rises with infection. This makes humans more susceptable to cat-whammy!!

My wittle woodjkins wants a kingdom. Be right back. :-)

Oh! What a horrible cat-mommy you are, for not getting your cat what it desired immediately!
