Waitaminute ... if "discombobulate" is in the dictionary, why aren't "combobulate" and "recombobulate"? (I only checked http://www.m-w.com -- I need to go hunt down the URL of the online OED and see whether it's in there.
Remember that rash-curing ritual I confused a bunch of people with a few weeks ago? I'm happy to say that it worked as expected. Perrine still kneads my ribs and my upper arm, but now without poking me and causing pain. She's still got enough claw to hurt me if she wanted to, but not so much that she keeps doing so by accident. She didn't struggle while her claws were being clipped, but she did emit pitiful, frightened-sounding cries.
