Period pets

I know there are strong pro ( Joce ) and anti ( Mr P ) cat people here, and I like all our four legged friends, so I offer this merely for interest as I have never heard of such a thing before http://www.nbcnews.com/science/purrfect-crime-gang-feral-cats-attacks-woman-her-dog-6C10765319

My parents had a black cat when I was a very young child - it was the runt of the litter but grew into an large tom cat. We lived out in the sticks and it was semi-feral, it would disappear for several weeks at a time - the local farmers told us they regularly saw it hunting rats and mice around their grain stores - then re-appear back at the house as if nothing had happened. It was very protective of me as a young child, and would take a swipe at anyone who came near me, apart from my parents.

The point of the story is it used to attack next door's alsatian on a regular basis. They weren't very responsible owners and used to let the dog wander, it was a very soft old thing. Our cat would sit on the garage roof, wait for the dog to come within range then leap off the roof onto the dog, digging it's claws into it's back. Eventually the dog learned to roll over and knock the cat off.

The stray kitten I found eating off my bird table has grown into a large tom cat (man bits removed) has a bit of a bromance for Mr Angrybird! My poor staffordshire bull terrier whos as soft has a brush gets a daily beating from the cat if he goes anywhere near Mr Angrybird

AS with the stories of attacks by cows, the common feature is always the dog.

We have public footpaths which are popular dog walking spots bordering the garden. My Lady Emma Hamilton lies in wait, hiding in the bushes. When the dog gets near, she makes a sudden leap into its path, attempting to induce sudden death by heart attack. Once they've recovered from their shock she laughs and frisks away. It's nice that my familiar is getting a bit of revenge for all the times dogs have murdered my hens. :twisted:

Speaking of Hens, this Peahen nearly made me drop my cornflakes this morning as it pecked on the window. It seems to be setting up residence
