Pawdicures

Usually I do pawdicures for the kitties on Sunday, and indeed I did Jenny's and Zoë's a week ago from yesterday, but I didn't get Heidi's done. Today she was seated on my mobility device so I grabbed her and, since today was the Fourth of July observed, I decided that it's also Sunday observed and trimmed Heidi's claws. Heidi has one claw in particular that, when we trim it, she always hisses and growls as soon as she sees the clipper. I can't figure out if someone drew blood once from that claw or something. At any rate, this afternoon the sky got dark and I thought I heard some rumbling. When I went to clip the problem claw, besides the hisses and growling there was a loud peal of thunder. At least it was the last one, given the ominous sign.
