I hope not. If that happens, we need to turn loose a couple of coyotes in there.

When I was stationed in Canada (a small 50 person detachment) I had a party at my house. I had a 10 something year old cat that weighed about 15 pounds. His name was Sylvester. He looked just like the cartoon character. One of the people brought their dog and they thought the dog could whoop anything. I don't remember the breed but it was probably a Heinz dog. Silvester was having no part of the dog. The guy put the dog down and Sylvester hit that dog on the nose with his front leg claws three times in 1.5 seconds and the dog took off. No problem after that.

Then there's the video shown on TV where a neighbors dog chased and knocked a little boy off of his bicycle in his driveway. The kid's cat ran out of the garage and gave a body blow to the dog sending the dog (who was bigger) scampering home.

Like John, we had a Siamese cat who knew our Dachshund should stay in the kitchen and was not allowed in the rest of the house. The cat sat just outside the kitchen door and if the dog got half way through the door, the cat would just, with one paw (nails out just a little) would give the dog's nose a thump. Only took two tries by the Dachshund, (and 2 thumps) to learn not to leave.

Siamese are one nasty cat.

We still seem to have more than enough polecats elected, every time we go to the poles.... If you don't think that, just talk politics with someone.... anyone.... any party .... it's the same thing, only different.

Everett! Thanks for the great quotes from the great man!

Blah, Blah, Blah!!! That was then, now is a whole different time, but, not all, somethings are timeless.
