Strange Animals

[eredien]

rax needs to know the names of more strange animals for Anthrocon. I gave her a long list but if you can further help her out that would be awesome.

In other news, both of us woke up late this morning because we were awoken by a hideous animal screeching at around 4 am, coming from the backyard. We didn't bother getting up to see what it was; it sounded sort of like that time I heard a rabbit screaming while getting killed by an owl, but went on for longer in a repeating pattern, twice, so I think it was a bird. "Eastern Screech Owl" was my first thought too, but that is definitely not it; the Screech Owl is much too melodious. Any ideas?

Oolong, slightly less than a month after her well-cat visit to the vet, has hives and is licking all her fur off again. Her skin causes new problems approximately every 6 months. Selene, of course, seems fine. We're going to the new vet today. Yay?

Edit: Fleas. Now we get to mop and vaccum everything! And I need to find somewhere less expensive to buy the special by-prescription cat food!

Likely I'm willing to go a bit more toxic, fogging the house and putting flea/tick stuff on the dog and the stray cats in the front yard. The strays have also been broken by the vet, got their shots, and get worming stuff added to their food annually (I don't call it fixed if it no longer works).

Haven't tried a UV light over a sticky pad yet, but I haven't had to. It's supposed to work.
