Re: Afternoon storm

We are clear today.  Last night I heard several cat voices and had to go
sort things out.  A couple of neighbor tomcats were using my side yard to
exclaim their disagreement.  Had my boys all up in legs.  Of course, I at
first worried that the altercation included one of mine so I flew out there
without shoes or flashlight, so I couldn't do much.  As I moved forward
along the north side of my house, I could only make out vague shapes that
growled and moved reluctantly as I approached.  When we reached the back
beds I could make out who they were - but so could my Mick who wanted to get
in on the action.  I moved them on to the back corner  where I couldn't get
w/in 5 ft of them because of bushes and they were still wailing at each
other.  So I ran in (dragging Mick with)and got shoes and beam and went back
to help sort things out.  Eventually, with the aid of a lily stake I got
them to move throught the entry hole and be on their way.  If people are
going to let their precious pets out at night, why don't they get them
fixed?
