Interesting new experience.

Al,

I still have to double take when you post pictures of Lincoln, he looks so much like our Murphy. I will have to keep the infection idea in mind if any of our cats ever take interest in a body part.

Al, perhaps your kitty just kneeded a little attention!

You've not lived until you've had a kitten climb up INSIDE your kilt!

ooohhh there are soo many places i wanna go with this one but will try to maintian some decency & decorum to this forum...

Al, are you aware of any problems with that knee? Two of my cats and the dog took a real interest in one of my knees some time back. Turns out there was a joint infection I didn't find out about till a week later.

this brings to mind the stories circulating recently about how they are using dogs to detect cancers ...

Trained dogs can sniff our bladder cancerTrained dogs can sniff our bladder cancer ...
Highlight:

It's fascinating: dogs' noses represent some of the most sophisticated spectrographic analysis equipment available on the planet. Now dogs have been trained to actually "sniff out" bladder cancer by smelling the urine of patients....

Have I got a story for you!
Lincoln was a wee kitten when I got him 13 years ago. When he was about 6 months old he pulled a stunt that neither of us will forget. I was living alone at the time and had just gotten out of the shower and was wearing a housecoat and nothing else. It was early morning and I was in the kitchen getting breakfast for the two of us. He was circling my legs as kittens usually do. Well...the little bugger happened to look up under my housecoat and spotted what he thought was a new "dangly toy". Naturally he jumped straight up to check it out.
Of course my reaction was to kick out sideways. He sailed across the kitchen and into the living room, landing on the couch. I don't know who was more stunned, him or me. Thankfully it never happened again.

Another cute kitten story involves our other cat, Salem. She was 6 weeks old when we got her from the farm. She's a real "burrowing" type of cat and loves nothing more than to crawl under the covers of the bed. She did that one night while I was sleeping, and I suddenly woke up to the feeling of this kitten in a serious lip-lock on one of my nipples, trying desperately to get some milk! Not the most pleasant feeling at all.

Have a similar problem with my mom's little Maltese dog...when I go over there and get down on one knee to pet the little brat she dives under the kilt and I have to dig her out....much to the amusement of the assembled company, of course.

Skin, bladder, lung cancers - dogs have been trained to find each. I saw one study where they could dtect early signs of arthritis too.

But before you can up your doctor, maybe your knee just smelled good that night. My current cat likes my deodorant - she'll climb up and start licking my armpits if she gets a chance.

Now THAT will get your attention!
