All I can say that I had the most exciting adventure. For those who dont know Clammy is a NQT (not quite tame) that I caught with her 3 kittens several months ago. I ended up adopting her because she hates eveyone but me and she wasnt going anywhere anyways. So I might as well adopt her.
So Ive been trying to clip her nails for awhile because they are like daggers and she sometimes decides she's gonna whack all the kittens and theyve gotten scratches before fromm her. Ive only been able to get one nail clipped about 10 different times up until today.
Last night was the last straw though. I decided I would either have to clip her nails or kill her one or the other. I'm kidding of course. She decided for no apparent reason to attack me. I was laying on the couch (Ari's with her dad this week) and all of a sudden she comes flying at me scratching and trying to bite. I ended up with quite a few nasty scratches. I almost think she was trying to play but she did alot of damage so Im not sure. She had the zoomies before. Running around and around. Then she pounced on me.
I ended up taking off today so I could figure out a way to get her nails trimmed and bring myself to the doctor for some antibiotics (dont want to get infected). And bring Clammy to the vet to check her out since shes never done anything like that before.
So I got to talking to Joe and he offered to help me clip her nails. She's decided she can tolerate his existence and doesnt run any time he comes up here so I decided to give it a go.
I had him come up wrapped Calamity up in a towel and we finally managed to get one whole paw clipped. The whole time she was yowling and sounding demonized. So we started working on the other front paw and someone knocked at the door. Joe answered it and it was the neighbor across the hall checking to see what was going on. He thought something horrible had happened to one of my cats. LOL
So we finnish that paw and the left back one and shes screaming the whole time. I could hear all the dogs in the other apartments barking like crazy. All of my cats were freaking out.
So then the apartment manager shows up asking what in the world we are doing. She had gotten calls from every single apartment that someone was home at except mine, Joe's and Andrews across the hall and she wanted to know what the three of us were up to. LOL
We quickly showed her and she left. We finnished Clammy's last paw and then we set her free and we started laughing so hard. Now we are sure all the older people in the whole apartment building think us young ones are demon worshippers or something. LOL
