What A Bite

 On May 26, 1897, Bram Stoker's Dracula was published.

The gothic horror story is legendary, and you've got to believe that I've collected a few sillies for your viewing pleasure:

Just wait, as I've collected memes and cartoons for more monsters:

Godzilla

Dragons

Bigfoot

Space Aliens

and more!

Henry Update:

He looks innocent, but Henry bit me.

I was absentmindedly petting him while looking at my phone, and *CHOMP*!

My left thumbnail is purple, turning black, and there's a hole near the tip of the pad.

This occurred days ago, and I've taken all precautions against developing an infection from a puncture wound made by cat teeth.

As I push pills into his maw with my right thumb, we are all doing just fine.

A lesson in staying focused.

There Was Chaos

 Henry had a dental appointment on Monday.

I'd coaxed Henry into the carrier with treats for days, rehearsing for this vet visit.

Of course, on the morning to the appointment, he wasn't having ANY OF IT.

There was swearing from both the humans and the cat.

There was blood, when Henry bit my left thumb HARD!

There was poop; you figure out who did that.

Finally, cornered under the writing desk, Henry was persuaded into the carrier...which is when he chomped on my gloved hand.

Am so very thankful that:

-He only lost two...count 'em!...two teeth.

-His bloodwork came back clean as a whistle, except for his positive FIV.

-Henry's age is 3-4 years.

-The vet tech petted Henry!

 ❤️ Henry ❤️

P.S. We all know that cat bites can be seriously dangerous.

As I was able to tend to the two holes in my thumb in a timely manner, I'm fine as of Wednesday evening, and will never hesitate to get medical care.

Some Halloween decorations in the 'hood are cute:
