We have had a new experience this weekend--a cat bite! We have had the pleasure of entertaining a beautiful black female cat. She gradually warmed up to my husband (could it be because he started feeding her?? DUH!!)On occasion, she has even jumped into his lap for petting. Until Friday, all was well! On Friday morning as I was at chemo lab, she jumped into his lap and sat there purring until something spooked her. Ben thinks that it was probably static electricity caused by an acrylic sweater he was wearing and the rubbing of her fur. Whatever the cause she clamped her sharp little teeth on his right hand. By Friday night the hand had begun swelling and by Saturday morning we were at "doc-in-the-box." Again this morning, instead of going to church, we saw the Doc again. He's a bit better and an open trap is waiting on the deck for black kitty.
Ah! The moral to the story...when something black jumps up in your lap and starts purring, you better know what you are getting in for. My advice do not receive this unknown "thing" into your lap because it just might bite you!
