cat health question

By Posted in animals Tagged , , 10 Comments

Steven E. has a scratch on the inside of his top lip
(we think – he wasn’t happy about our attempts at examining it)

lip is slightly swollen, no discharge, no fever – he’s not listless, acts normal.

I can’t decide if I need to take him to the vet. I’m thinking that cleaning the scratch with peroxide and/or applying an antibiotic ointment would take care of it – but since the scratch is on the inside of the lip, I worry he may ingest some of the peroxide/antibiotic.

what doth you peeps sayeth? any experience treating this kind of cut?

childrearing, Werner Herzog, profanity – the perfect mix

an audio recording of Go the Fuck to Sleep that Werner Herzog did for the New York Public Library to celebrate the release of Adam Mansbach’s new children’s book.

well, I personally would have been fast asleep before the first GTFTS. or at least pretending to very very hard.

Good news to report: a clip of the recording has surfaced online, and it’s as Herzog-ian as you would hope. “The windows are dark in the town child. The whales huddled down in the deep. I’ll read you one last book, if you swear you’ll go…” Well, you know.
