Actually… I have two random bits of grossness.
Random gross #1
The other day when I came home from the indoor range, I put a tissue up my nose to clean things out. When I pull the tissue out, there’s black on the tissue. Eh? I do a bit more cleaning in and around both nostrils and find more black. I am not 100% sure what it is, but I can only deduce it’s from the indoor range… all the smoke, especially given the guy shooting the muzzleloader in the bay next to me. Who knows what else I inhaled. This is just another reason why indoor ranges aren’t the greatest thing… or that Red’s needs to massively improve ventilation. Rather gross, and unsettling as to what I took into my body.
Random gross #2
The new kitty? She has the most god-awful farts, and has them rather frequently. Or at least, it seems the cause-effect is pick up kitty, get a nasty fart for your troubles.
Joy. 😕
Stuff From Hsoi 
I can almost guarantee that black stuff is range-related material – I get the same thing, no matter whether I go to an indoor or an outdoor range. I blame AR-15s crapping where they eat 😉 .
Also, kittens do that. They grow out of it. Sometime. Might want to look into its food, and try changing some things up.
RE: black stuff – I don’t get it anywhere else but the indoor range. Bleah.
RE: the kitten – oh I know. It’s just unreal this cat… all the cats and dogs and other animals I’ve had throughout my life, none have been a room-clearer like this kitten. It’s unreal.
Actually we are working on the diet issue. When we brought her home we noticed her poop was rather … wrong. We think it was due to the canned food my in-laws were feeding her. We started her on the same food when we brought her home, but since then have stopped and she’s eating the same thing the other cats are eating. Things seem to be improving, at least in the litter box department. But we’ll see.. .more adjustment may be needed as time goes on.
Meantime… gah… 🙂
