so we almost had some cat-drama last night ... our neighbours a few doors down had a feral cat living under their deck last summer and it just happened to have a litter of 2 kittens .. well, the kids thought they were so cute, etc, etc, so instead of catching them and getting them spayed and vaccinated and adopted, they just fed them and played with them a bit .. now they have 3 feral cats living under their deck, with the dad and other newly attracted stray toms in the area coming around at all hours of the day and night (and pooping on my lawn but that's another story). Last night there was major tom wailing going on (and not by Bowie) and one of our cats (who used to be feral until we took him to the vet and had him neutered and vaccinated!!) just had to get out to make sure his property wasn't being conquered by invading hordes. I was worried for a bit since he is still a very manly cat and will scrap now and then ... but in the end I could be nothing but proud of William .. he went out along the top of the fence to the corner of our property and sat himself up pretty tall and stood his ground. There was a little bit of some asian language thrown back and forth between the two cats (the other one also a pretty orange/ginger cat) and then it just became a stare-down. No fur flying, no cuts, bites or scratches, just a waiting period of about 45 mins ... apparently the other guy blinked first! William the Protector saved the day.
