The joys of having a kitten

[trinityvixen]

I wash my hands a lot at work--occupational requirement, really. Never know what you'll get under your glvoes. (In addition to just smelly, sweaty glove hands.) I also have a huge bottle of Purell that I got from the secretary. (Everyone got one. So, though it appeases my OCD, I didn't get it specially to do so. I'm totally not on the hook for that.) I use that just about every time I wash my hands, too. (Just to be sure!) And sometimes when I've been sitting for a while and am bored. Purell, then lotion, then back to what I was doing.

You know what feels GREAT when you pump Purell all over it? Open wounds from kitten scratches. Just as a few start healing up, I go to pet the kitten when he's in a fighty-bitey mood, and I have nineteen billion more! Some times, I don't even know I have them until I reach for the Purell.

I think I need one of those shark-repelling chain mail suits...but for the kitten.

Hahaha yeah Minna is a biter... >.<

Like for reals sometimes she just goes mental on my hand or foot, and pushing her away only encourages her more. I swear that cat has some problems... It would be cute if her teeth weren't so damn sharp, she drew blood once! Vampire cat lolol

I've been bitten, hard, by a cat before, and I never want to repeat that experience again. (A declawed devil cat of my friends once bit like a furrow through the meaty part of my palm.) So, you have my sympathies. This is just a kitten. He's not biting too hard, though he is biting. It's the claws that get me because he's SO EXCITED to be ripping my hand/arm/foot/face apart, he kicks a lot.
