Got back to my more-permanent dwelling-place to find that my cat has suddenly and inexplicably developed an aural hematoma in her ear. No vet until Monday, so I get to do an aspiration to relieve the swelling. Hooray.

I feel bad for my kitty. Her ear is all blown up like a balloon. It's not infected - but ugh, aspirations are definitely among my least favorite things. I'm betting my cat isn't find of them, either.
