See the above changes. Why a Threat bonus? -- well, it's been like,
weeks, since I've clipped his claws. Now I'm scared to! :)

Heh. I wouldn't let Atticus near a child. The cat is, unfortunately,
psychotic -- he was discovered as a stray (so hungry he was eating
twigs) -- and we're pretty sure he had escaped an abusive owner. =

Unfortunately, I must be his twin brother, because there are times when
he turns absolutely feral. So I have to consider all the bites and
scratches I've received (or that he's gifted other people with). And to
think of all the warnings about letting small children near Rottweilers
and such...

He's got a good sense of time, though -- every morning at 4:45 he wakes
me up.
