Where to start?

Well, it's been an eventful couple of days. I successfully saw through the Yom Kippur fast on Thursday, I took Roo to her second vet appointment on Friday (the rain, and my lack of a proper carrier on the way back, made that very complicated), and today ironroot and I designed my D&D character. I have to ask one of the other players if our two characters can be related. It's complicated - I'll explain it if it works out. My friend Martine, now a senior at Bryn Mawr, is flying home from Atlanta tonight. She's going to spend the night here and meet Roo.

Speaking of Roo, I got a little spray bottle that I hope I can use to train her not to bite. The vet says she needs to be trained now, or she will not get out of the habit when she grows up. I'm hoping I can do that without making Roo hate me or something.

Oh, and I also made a discovery. I was wrapping the yarn around the needle the wrong way when I knitted. Now I've corrected the mistake. It takes some getting used to, but I can see that it's working - my stitches aren't too tight anymore and the yarn I'm working with doesn't get twisted. Yay!

That's good. I don't think Alryssa's offense merits shaking.

As for Roo, just carry on with what you're doing. (Grin.) And submit some more pictures when you have time.

I HAVE worked at animal shelters, so don't presume to lecture me, dear. I've seen firsthand, repeatedly, at what people - both ignorant *and* willingly - have done to animals.

I have not, nor have I ever implied, she would do anything of the sort. However, I WAS saying that shaking was not the ideal method of disciplining a kitten.

My cats are perfectly well behaved and I've never had to resort to physical violence to teach them appropriate behaviour. Both of them are shelter rescues, one of whom I rehabilitated myself.

So please to think first before assuming you know squat about someone you've never met, hmm?

I wasn't assuming you were self-righteous and sheltered. It came through loud & clear.

Okay, that's enough. This has gotten unneccessarily vicious and I won't have you two getting into a raging argument on my journal. If you can't say anything nice to each other, then ignore each other or take it somewhere else, please.
