Oh, what harm can a CAT do?

Let me SHOW you what harm a cat can do...




Despite the similarity in appearance, that is NOT lipstick.


Now, I've known plenty of cat haters in my time, and I certainly don't want to give them fodder for their distaste. I'm also not suggesting that all cats will or want to do this to their LOVING OWNERS. I am merely submitting more evidence to support what many have long known: that
this cat as a devil inside him.


And an angel! However, the devil is stronger. Oh, believe it.


This is the story of Kelly's Cut Lip:
I work from home. I awoke later than I wished, and scrambled to my laptop to begin the day's assignments. I found than not only did I have a lot more work than I anticipated on a day when I had to leave my home and travel up to my friends' wedding...I also couldn't concentrate. Meanwhile, *Franklin paced. And meowed. Then yowled. Then he tore up my husband's character sheets with his teeth (yes, my husband is a Gamer Nerd, and my GOD that paper tears louder than any other paper commonly found in modern American households). I yelled at Frankie to stop, give him food, offer catnip, etc. NOTHING stopped him.

{Repeat from * for about twenty more minutes.}

Finally, Franklin started pawing at the door, which is always the most infuriating thing of all, not only because it is loud, but because if you were to actually open the door he'd be too terrfied to actually GO anywhere. I ran over, picked him up, and said, "Franklin, do you want attention?"


Swipe.
Slice.
Alleluia, bloody lip. I let out a mighty war cry and dropped him. He wasn't seen for about four hours. So, the beast DOES have some sense.

It was the first time he ever made me bleed. For others, bloody wounds is old news (unfortunately). But he'd never attacked Mama like that before.

Methinks his heart is darkening by the day.
