Allow me to start with something that could turn me to violence, which is scumbags abandoning kittens left right and centre - we had at least four in the last year, plus three more I found dead. Tiny things.
I spotted the tail and the hind legs of a slip of a thing last week in the garden, as it was running away and disappeared. A couple of days ago, again just the legs and the tail as it was hiding under the iron roof of the ruins of an outbuilding. No chance of catching it.
This morning, as I opened the door to feed the resident/visiting cat, I saw the little one running away and hiding under the car. From there, it climbed up into the engine (terrible idea, kitty). I opened the bonnet, it climbed up and down a couple of time only to end up in a corner by the water tank. So far, so TA.
I had the brilliant idea of trying to catch it with my bare hands, but the kitten turned into a Tasmanian devil, bit me right through a fingernail and clung on, claws spinning in every direction. A doberman would have backed off. Still a major TA, my hands are shredded and my fingertips are still throbbing and sending me shocks on the inside. Thank God my tetanus jab is up to date.
The very, very HAPPY part of this is that I did manage to put him into a cat carrier, and during the day also to feed him, calm him down massively and get him to trust me, to the point that this evening he had turned into a furry bundle of purrs, cuddles and kitty kisses. He even touched my face and my nose with his paws and tried to suckle from my hand. The even happier news is that my neighbour might have already found a home for him.
But if I catch the scumbags that abandoned him... I may just feed them cat litter.
Look at those ears - doesn't he look like Gizmo?

Pretty maps:
I love maps in general but this game (Europa Universalis IV) sometimes lets me make some very pretty ones. I love the purple.
The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
