She's probably feeling a bit worse from surgery than he is.
We figured; she really couldn't be handled last night. We couldn't even give her the painkiller Angell had sent us home with; that was when she chomped my father. Today she was licking and nipping at her belly enough that we called the adoption center back, but unfortunately it was too late in the day for us to bring her in. (We're in Somerville. Angell MSPCA is in Brookline. Anywhere near rush hour on a three-day weekend, not possible.) We'll keep an eye on her over the weekend. The good news is that she's spent most of this evening comparatively chill. She lets me pet her. She's purred vigorously when near me. She curls up with her brother and doesn't try to disembowel him when he overenthusiastically grooms her ears. It's cool.
Hopefully she'll calm down in a couple of days when she's had more of a chance to heal.
That's the idea! And in the meantime, Tybalt Autolycus is burrowing into my collar, purring so hard his entire body shakes. He thinks my laptop is fascinating. My mother says, "I see you have discovered the cat's basic job: keep owner from reading or writing."
