Attacked

Our cat was viciously attacked this morning...it was horrible! As Bill was leaving to run to the store this morning, I heard a horrible cat-screaming noise. I honestly thought he had run over a neighborhood cat (sometimes they sleep on his jeep). I ran downstairs and looked out the window, but Bill had driven away and the horrendous cat screeching/screaming noise continued. I ran to the back patio because the sound was very close. (We often let our cat out on the back patio. It makes her feel like an outside cat but she can't go anywhere. There's no grass and the walls are about 10 feet high and she can't get over so it's usually harmless to let her stay out there.)

However, this morning I ran back to the patio and looked out and saw a HUGE yellow cat hissing at our poor innocent kitten. I opened the door and called for Bacon to come inside...I wasn't going out there, the yellow cat was big and mean. The yellow cat ran away when she heard me and Bacon stood against the wall and watched her leave. The yellow cat tried several times to jump up the wall and failed. She finally jumped on the window ledge and then the wall. Finally, Bacon came running in and ran upstairs as fast as possible. I ran outside and discovered that there was ANOTHER cat on the wall surrounding our patio. Who knows if both of them were in our patio or not, but I yelled at them loudly and passionately and they ran for their lives. I went upstairs to find Bacon but she was hiding. After coaxing her out with some treats, we discovered that she has some scratches on one leg, a bald spot behind her ear, and she doesn't use her front left paw. She's walking around on three legs! It's so sad! Poor kitten.

I think we should buy a BB gun...or leave out some poisoned tuna. I don't like cats! And I certainly don't like other cats bullying my cat! Oh, and just so you know, I heard last week that a neighbor's dog (a very small puppy) was killed by a large yellow cat, so I think this is a pattern of violence. If someone owns this yellow cat, and can't keep it under control, and it finds it's way into my patio again...I can't guarantee it will live!

evil cats about to fight each other!
