Re: Afternoon storm

I don't really mind that these cats visit my yard now - but separately.
They seem to have figured out that my guys are no threat and that they are
visiting.  Occasionally I will see one of mine lying at a short distance
from one of the visitors and they seem to be communicating peacefully.  But
if they can't behave, they have to leave.
