as chad researches disgust, it was only appropriate that i discovered an abcess near the base of the tail of Most Favored Kitty Levon. we rushed to the vet. the abcess, er, popped. it burst. and hit the wall and the vet tech. and stank. like a couple of thimblefuls of pus. holy shit. poor kitty.

our friends E and J have a cat named frank about whom a veterinarian commented that frank "takes it in the face," since frank had, at the time, a fang sticking out of his forehead, and other scars up front, indicating that he gets wounded while facing his fight. levon, however, gets wounded by running away. he is not a fighter.
