A very fine twist of fates, and OF COURSE Henry James knew her. Except for his stints living in a ghost house, he was a butterfly. Also, that feral beast looks more bored than feral. Although of course a real feral beast would do exactly that, so the prey would never suspect the upcoming danger. Assessment: 100% feral.

I'm a wounded beast and my feral counterpart wants more ACCION. I am looking for solutions, and in the meantime, all my attention to The Beast is weird, posting pics of him without his consent...

I'd love this for the headline alone, if nothing else. But of course the rest of it is just as interesting!

When looking for a headline, I thought to myself, 'What rhymes with "vacuum"'? And "raccoon" seemed counterproductive.
