Cat Scratch Fever

So there I am, lounging on the couch, watching Pearl Harbor — yeah, I know, that was my first mistake — when the 11-month old kitten zooms down the stairs, around the corner, bounces once on the carpet and leaps for the back of the couch. Only my face was in the way.

Damn good thing she’s so cute.

This is one time that the over-used movie line “That’s going to leave a mark” would have been appropriate.
