Thanks for the sympathy. Fortunately, she didn't do any damage to my ear.

Yes, the earrings were dangling. I am usually more careful with Chloe. She likes to play with whatever necklace that I happen to be wearing, so I always tuck it inside my shirt. I just didn't think about the fact that my earrings were dangling.

BTW, my husband found the back this evening, with the bottom of his foot, I might add. At least it's not inside of the kitty!
