A Cat By Any Other Name

The Seahorse Whisperer: You'll NEVER guess what happened on the flight back to Omaha.

A-L: You went to Omaha?

TSW: No. My sister, the Thumb-Sucking Cat's Brother's mother, finished her rotation at the hospital in San Francisco, and took the Thumb-Sucking Cat's Brother back to Omaha, to be reunited with the Thumb-Sucking Cat.

A-L: Did they get upgraded to first class after the flight crew found out who his brother was?

TSW: Not quite. The sedatives wore off halfway through the flight, and the Thumb-Sucking Cat's Brother went crazy. He started biting his way out of his cat carrier. And apparently my sister's right index finger tastes like cat carrier, because he bit it. Super hard.

A-L: Maybe he heard her talking about dropping him off at the pound.

TSW: It's possible. But she ended up with a pretty severe bite, and spent the last three days in the hospital. On Saturday the doctor told her she had a 15% chance of losing her index finger. But now she's on the mend. And her finger is getting better.

JB: At least it wasn't her thumb.

A-L: Too right. Then we'd have to call him The Thumb-Sucking Cat's Thumb-Biting Brother. I much prefer The Thumb-Sucking Cat's Frequent Flying Finger Biting Brother.
