Jun. 21st, 2009 10:42 pmwhew. caught up. I think. Did I miss anything really important?
Remi got in a fight with That Fucking Orange Cat. She chased him and cornered him in a neighbor's overgrown backyard; Fi went in barefoot with a flashlight and hauled her out. She had him cornered and he was at bay, unable to flee because if he did she would attack his hindquarters; when Fi grabbed Remi, he turned and jumped the fence to escape.
This is the cat that did $125 worth of damage to Chita a couple of months ago.
Chita had already come inside, and so wasn't involved; she has been quick to flee at any sign of Orange Cat lately, which is good. She beats up Remi, but it's light-hearted on her end, and Remi doesn't retaliate much. Which is good.
Now both cats are inside. But the noises haven't stopped; a cat was yowling plaintively, for a while. Then a dog was barking-- a big, close dog, which we haven't heard before. But just now another cat began shrieking, audibly a catfight, in one of the neighboring yards, probably across the back fence. It sounded bad, and went on quite a while. We had seen Orange Cat slinking around the other yards across the back fence, and had perhaps seen another.
Both our cats are very restless, now closed in on the back porch.
We are considering going and knocking on the kitty-corner back-fence neighbors, who we have seen interacting with Orange Cat, and suggesting to them that perhaps they should monitor their cat's outdoor time a little closer. But it's hard to think how to be tactful about it!!
We're just worried we've given the neighbor a heart attack-- Fi went crashing behind this woman's garage.
Now a cat is doing that deep purruping brag-meow they do when they've caught a prey animal, somewhere behind the garages. Mrrow! Mow! Purrow! Yow!
Remi is not impressed.
Writeup on Giant Family Party to follow, no worries. Photos too, just have to get them off the camera.
