Sugar is cute

I've occasionally been "smacked" by Sugar - an interesting experience where she darts out and leaps at me, hitting me with one paw (no claws) and then darting away. I've always imagined what it looks like, but she really does surprise me when she does it, so it's always been just the sensation of being whacked by a cold, soft kitty paw, and then the vision of a white lighting bolt exiting the room.

Last night, when Matt came down to find me, I saw her attack him in this way as he entered the room. It was so funny! The ears are back, she's about halfway upright on her hind legs, and her whole body swings around with the force of the "whack!" that she gives him.

Today, I learned that Girl Scout cookies (the really bad-for-you caramel ones) are an effective treatment for menstrual cramps. Really. They are. That's why I had 4.
