I had my yearly woman checkup and I had a new doctor - she wondered if I had a tumor removed from the top of my chest.
I kid you not!

(47,675 posts)No, she's not fixed. We may breed her at some point (with a blue mearle). She LIVES for belly rubs. She'll be passed out and snoring but somehow roll over as you're on your way to the bathroom so she can get a foot rub on her belly. Peter, on the other hand, thinks that's a good excuse to turn into a pin cushion with teeth.

(5,506 posts)There IS such a thing as Cat Scratch Fever (sans Nugent)! My husband got it 30 yrs ago when we had a new kitten. He would play w/kitty & cat would scratch up his hands. He then developed infection pockets in his lymph system & had to have lymph nodes removed in his armpit, a fairly major surgery then. It is not something to take lightly! No joke.
