Ailurophobia

Finally!

I have proof positive that cats are evil and trying to destroy me!

Check out my leg:


(Sexy, right?)


Yesterday I noticed I have this bizarre bug bite with a weird bruised area all around it.

Ugly? Yes!

Strange? Absolutely!

Proof that cats are furry little demons who hate me?

YOU BETCHA!


Look CLOSELY at the form this welt/bruise has taken!

I have used my masterful photo-editing skills on the photo below to assist you in surveying the pure evil...


Am I right, or am I right?


Attention CATS! Or should I call you Beezlebubs!

I am SO onto you...


PS- Seriously though, is there a doctor in the house? What the crap bit me?

PPS- Also seriously, cats frighten me.

The cat drawing is funny! I'm also have ign cat issues. My neighbors feel the need to let theirs wander even though housing rules say any animal outside MUST be on a leash. There's about 5 cats I see routinely. They'd better not let me catch them on my patio furniture since we're allergic.

That bite looks like it could be a spider bite.

Kat said...

That's funny! I didn't see it until your drawing. Although I do like cats my hubby is allergic so he's convinced they're evil and out to get him too. Now I'm a dog person because of him.

Dedene said...

I'd bet a spider bite, too. But check out the cats for tics, just in case.

The bruise looks more like an alien mark. You have been abducted while you were asleep!!

Your sweet pussy cats would not harm you! Shame on you!!!

Megryansmom said...

I'm going with spider bite. The cat put the spider up to it.

Oh my word, you crack me up. lol
I was lost at first but the drawing cleared everything up. :)

Kim H. said...

Okay Jenni, I love your bizzaro sense of humor AND your super sweet editing skillz.

On a serious note -- that looks like a spider bite -- could even be a brown recluse bite -- only speaking because I was bitten by one a few years back and my neighbor just got bit by one last week.

It's very typical to get a bruise, and redness that gets larger and larger. If in a few days it doesn't appear to be getting any better, get in to see your Dr. It's not uncommon to have to go on an antibiotic after a severe bite. Just stay on top of it.

Bren said...

Loved the cat picture - I have two cats and while at times they are evil - mostly they are my buddies.

That is quite the bite that you've got there though! I'd have that checked out!

Terra said...

Holy Cat...I hate cats...Well not really but I will never own one. I am sorry about the bite - no thoughts from this non-doc.

Mrs Cooper said...

Hmmm, not sure what that is. Not familiar with lots of bug bits. But I love the cat drawing. I think you should draw it on your leg.

jen@odbt said...

Looks like a spider bite to me too although sometimes my mosquito bites get that big b/c I scratch them so much. Hope it feels better.

mommaof4wife2r said...

that's some bite!!! and wow, who knew that when a cat bit you the bite resembled the actual cat! :)

CaraBee said...

Well clearly that is a bite from the rare Felinas Arachnidae, commonly known as the Cat Spider. That cat shaped bruise is just the first stage. Soon you will develop a yen for licking yourself and will uncontrollably chase around small bits of string.

robin said...

Oh man! That does not look like fun!
No cute little furry creature could ever be responsible for such a thing. Kitties aren't so bad. I swear!

Momma@Live. Laugh. Pull your hair out said...

I am not a cat lover myself!

As for what bit you.....hmmm......

Kathleen W. said...

Oh my, that is frightening! I wonder if it's a spider bite, or a tick? I hope the swelling has gone down today, poor dear.

Jennifer Suarez said...

It looks like a spider bite, BUT if it swells, gets sore, becomes more red, or starts to look like a bullseye on a dart board, get to the doctor cuz it COULD be a tick bite.

The cat drawing was hilarious, I didn't see it at first, but after I did I LOLd

MamabearMills said...

Youre too mch jiggity! thaT'S WHY i love you!!!! hahahha. cats are evil; yes!!!

ComfyMom~Stacey said...

You have to watch cats. They put out so much body heat they mark you in your sleep

WhisperingWriter said...

I'm a total cat person but they can be evil. I think it's a spider bite but I'm not sure. Maybe you were abducted by aliens and they did all sorts of experiments on you...

Cameron said...

Yeah, I'm going with spider bite. If that doesn't go down in a couple days you may wanna get that checked. Or at least get the hubby to suck out the poison ;)

Kristina P. said...

Cats ARE evil. We had a neighbors cat keep jumping up on our balcony, wanting us to take care of it. No, no, no.

Kekibird said...

Hahahahah!! That was awesome. Although, I didn't really need the Photoshop rendering to believe they are evil. I happen to have this belief as apart of my life's credo.

Dee said...

lol Jenni!!!!!!

Seriously tho, looks infected so go to the doctors!

Dee said...

Happy Birthday to your sissy from me!

Elle said...

Wow! Whiskers and all. That's pretty amazingly evil.

Chrissy said...

Ouch! I have a scar from a kitten we had a while back. She liked to CLIMB UP MY LEGS like I was a scratching post. She was the devil I am pretty sure.

Have a great day!

Jenners said...

I see it! I see it! The cats are invading! The cats are invading! Run for the hills! Squirt them with Purell! Drown them in coleslaw!

(See how I cleverly told you I read all three of the posts I was catching up on but left you only one comment? Hee hee hee... me so sneaky!)

H.K. said...

Yes indeed, I believe you were bitten by a spirit of a mean cat! Cats scare me too!

Heatherlyn said...

The cat drawing/shape is really quite fantastic.

I think it is a spider bite too. We learned that even non-poisonous spiders can transfer bacteria when they bite you. My daughter had to get a shot and be on antibiotics for a week when she was bitten by a non poisonous spider. Of course, the bite did make her leg swell up, too.

But you've gone 2 for 3 for Halloween animals. You've got a cat and a spider. Now all you need to do is somehow involve a bat and your good. OK, so I know that was random. Hopefully your leg gets better!

Isabel Princes said...

Haha!!! I love the pics. ummmm, is it just me but I can never see your words? I have to highlight your posts like some secret computer ink to read them... or is that your thing and I'm just slow to catching on?

Ali said...

Ailurophobia--the fear of having bruises take on the shape of family pets?

Love your mad photoshop skillz!

Deborah at Coco Bonbons said...

Yikes!!! And taking it out on the innocent cats? Shame on you! :-) Seriously, I hope your leg gets better!

Missy said...

You are too funny but it sucks about the bug bite! I wonder what bit you. I am scared of cats too - they are sneaky weird animals!

Firefly@www.firefly-shop.org said...

That does look like cat hmmm....

Paranoid Mom said...

That is hilarious and scary! Love reading your posts.

LOL! You crack me up - and I am soooo not a cat person either. Gotta watch out for those little demons! LOL

Jenn@ The Crazies said...

I had a spider bite that looked like that las tear. I hate to tell ya that I still have a scar! Get to the Dr to check it out cuz I had to take antibiotics! And... watch the cats! They are pesky!!

Stacy (the Random Cool Chick) said...

That bug bite looks PAINFUL!! And thanks for the visual assistance with the drawing - I kept trying to see 'cat' in the first picture and couldn't quite visualize...of course my mind was going elsewhere thinking you were going to reveal it wasn't a bug bite but a cat bite or clawing so I was trying to visualize 'how'... :)

sues2u2 said...

I'm all for spider bite too. Wanna see my scar from the one that bit me two yrs ago when we moved to this God forsaken area?!

Cats are Not evil. To date my little girl has killed two scorpions (in my house), a few spiders, flies & even a centipede. Not evil, not evil. *g*

coastrat said...

Yowwwweeeeeeeee! looks like a spider bite to me, too. Have it checked out right away!

I kill a spider in my little travel trailer at least every week, and I have no idea how the heck they get in here!

We have Black Widow and Brown Recluse here, among others.

Hey, go get some sun on those legs, Jenni!

Lora said...

you're working here at home on Explorer. Your template is adorable!! I've never seen it before.

I'll let you know tomorrow about Mozilla.

Molly said...

I could have told you that cats were evil before that! :)
Your leg looks like it is in pain!!

Cant Hardly Wait said...

Looks like an ant bite. Or one of those spider bites that end up with 40 tiny spiders inside your leg. Or 40 tiny cats.

blissfully caffeinated said...

Um, that kind of looks like ringworm. And you do get it from cats. Or it could be a spider bite. Either way, I would go see a doctor.

Cats are evil, but in a good way.

Carrie said...

That is awesome.

I really really REALLY hate cats. They know when you are allergic and rub on you on purpose to transfer their cootie nasty cat dander!

Plus, you can ALWAYS smell when a cat lives in a house.

blech blech blech

La Pixie said...

oh my word, that looks terrible!!

I hate bugs and thats why.

Jen said...

Too funny. I saw it even before your drawing. I agree- I think cats are after you. He, He

I'm allergic to cats, so not my favorite animal, either.

JustRandi said...

You know, I KNEW that about cats!

Mrs4444 said...

You are hilarious! :)

Kristen Andrews said...

yikes, poor girl! Hope it is better!

Jennifer said...

Ohmygosh, please don't die!!! Where would I get my laughs at???

Banteringblonde said...

I don't like cats at all... i knew they were evil, thanks for the proof!
