The cat seems to have developed a fracture on a front paw. I’m not sure what she did exactly – looks like she’s been ran over by something; maybe a bicycle (I’m not surprised. she *runs* about in the street. no, it can’t be stopped.)- but she came home limping yesterday morning. She seemed fine in the evening, but this morning the paw was horribly swollen. We visited the vet just now (where she misbehaved dreadfully), and he says it definitely *looks* fractured. We have an appointment on Tuesday at the clinic where she’ll be x-rayed, and we’ll know for sure then. The vet says it might have been only a crack yesterday, but she aggravated it by dancing about the place (she danced. she rolled about and turned *somersaults* in the sofa chasing a piece of paper). *sigh* I swear this is the most troublesome cat I’ve ever had.

There seems to be some very interesting racism wank going on in F_W, with posts such as "poverty is a disease. people CHOOSE to be poor" and "what message about America did it show the world to see how animalistic our own people could be?" (as a part of the 'world', sometimes I wonder - what do these people think we think of Americans? that they're some kind of Superpeople Who Can Do No Wrong, no matter what the circumstance is?) Quite fitting, since today happens to be Mahatma Gandhi's birthday. The newspapers are, as usual, full of melodramatic "the nation today has forgotten Gandhi", and patronising "the youth do not understand Gandhi" articles and discussions that make me grit my teeth. I wish they would for *once* write something insightful instead of the same old cliched crap.
