This was delightful. It was funny to see Roy's great idea for a gift backfire on him a little bit. I loved the kitten's point of view, and of course, her attack. It also was fun to see how they dealt with each other's irritation, pushing at each other's boundaries. Al's secure enough to stand up to Roy. It's a nice bit of give and take, and shows how their relationship has changed over the year.

It's also funny to see a guy who toughed out a terrible injury to his leg pouting over a scratch on his ass. Of course, his pride was hurt more than his skin was. ::snicker::
