My arms are orange.
I got the shit scratched out of me trying unsucessfully to put feral mama (Dora and Piglet's mother, who after two years of feeding her and trying to make friends does let me pet her) in a carrier. I've tried trapping her, but she's too light to trigger the trap, I think. She's a skinny little thing, and small like her daughters.

So, because I don't dare think about what germs she's carrying, I've washed with every antibacterial substance known to humankind, and am regularly reapplying iodine.

This is the thanks I get for giving a shit.

Also, Dora pees on my bed sometimes.

Stoopid cats. I love them, but sometimes I wish I didn't.

8. Oh heck no.
My sister uses that stuff (the stuff with the gun thing they sell on TV) and the warning label says it causes cancer.

Anyhow, I like my corpse-like complexion.
