Sorry about the cat bite, William . Sounds like the cat has as many issues as the sister in law. My brother is feeling the pain of lending money to his children. His oldest daughter is next to evil the way she treats him. He and his wife did all they could to help her and their grandchildren. She doesn't respect any of it and continues to make up stories of being abused as a child which is totally imagined. She had a cat early in her now defunct marriage. It was a black cat named Blitz. I went to pet it when I first met it and the little (word I can't put here) darn near ripped my thumb off. I got a hold of it and squeezed it's throat until his eyes almost left their sockets. All the while my niece was screaming and pleading with me to leave her cat alone. I pushed the cat to the floor and it scampered off behind the refrigerator. It started hissing and howling like evil cats do. It was then that her ex husband told me that cat was nuts and wouldn't let no one near it except my niece. I look back at that experience and truly think that the cat put a spell on the girl making her nuts, too. I went to the doctor for my ripped thumb and got a few stitches and a shot. There was no concern for rabies as the cat was up to date on it's shots. I hope you heal quick. We are our brother's keeper, but sometimes you have to draw the line. .
