Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Fixed your linky, Bev.

Because books.
That is possibly the best thing I've ever seen, Bev.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Thanks amy! And Amy! Stoopid linky making me look bad.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
love it. They possibly have too much time on their hands, but AWESOME way to use it.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Eek on being fully conscious and thought to be in a coma.
In other news, we broke down yesterday and adopted a companion kitty for Seamus. Well, actually, two. Pearl is a gray-and-white four-month-old girl. Coco is a black four-year-old boy.
Pearl doesn't seem to like being picked up, but once you succeed, she likes to be cuddled. She's taken to hiding in one corner of a bookcase.
Coco looks like a handful. The rescue group has had him in their system since 2005 (so, since he was a kitten or adolescent). He's fine if you sit still and let him approach you, but he hisses and growls and attacks if you try to approach him with much more than a finger to sniff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
love it. They possibly have too much time on their hands, but AWESOME way to use it.
That's pretty much exactly what I was thinking.
Also, that story of the guy in the coma is terrifying, but amazing that he's communicating now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They're going to have more difficulty proving the persistent or vegetative parts of persistent vegetative states now, aren't they?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I thought there were tests that could be done to detect locked-in syndrome, but it's possible I'm confusing reality with House.

Fred, there's a chance he'll have a delayed or even a "second" kittenhood, learn to play and approach and be approached without feeling threatened.
Our feral didn't respond to his name for eight years, nor was he vocal, at all. Now he won't shut up, and apparates before us when we call his name. Begs to be picked up and held, although not by anyone sitting, though he will smush up against a hip or leg in lieu of lapsitting. Cats are infinitely adaptable, as I'm sure you know. And I can't think of a family who would be more fertile ground for nurturing a personality stunted by cages and short-term foster placements. All best to you and Coco.
