Clean Murray's litter box.
Reaction:
Flee in terror; come back and sniff around all freaky like; stare at you like you're strangling a puppy; swipe at your legs as you go to take the trash out; pee and/or, ideally, generate a huge smelly poo as soon as box is returned to its former position.

I know, let's poke a Tasmanian Devil with a stick.

Oh hey, the midwinter curse has struck again. Murray has diabetes! Yay! That will be fun. Nothing's better than giving injections to a creature who thinks the best way to say "I am done being petted for now, thank you kindly" is with five claws to the nearest vital organ.
