Well, people, here at Cat Central life goes on apace.
(And because we’re all suckers for cats, here’s something about our ex-tomcat (we had him fixed but he still hasn’t noticed) who is a combination of Chuck Norris, John Wayne and Solomon. It is a true story of a recent occurrence.)
Numbnuts the next door neighbor has acquired another three cats that he keeps outside most of time and generally ignores. (Why the hell do idiots like that even want to have a pet seeing as they just neglect and ignore them?)
Anyway, one of the big dogs (Husky mix) from the end of the road was on the loose last night. Known to be a cat killer. Just wandering around the neighborhood.
Those three cats hang out on the porch of their owner’s house.
Along comes the dog. He’s going to go after the cats on the porch.
Around the side of the house strolls our tomcat who has befriended these hapless cats.
Tomcat places himself between the dog and his friends, does the inflating cat trick and just stands there, silent, staring at the dog.
Cat stands there like a gunfighter in a shoot out – just radiating “Come get some, Motherf….”
Dog doesn’t know what this cat is up to. Cat hasn’t read the “Cats are afraid of dogs” rulebook. Cat is also very, very confident and very, very calm. Cat may have knife, gun or maybe tactical nuke hidden on his person.
Dog stares at cat…
…cat stares at dog.
You hear a Sergio Leone tune playing softly, somewhere.
Dog shuts up, turns around and goes back to his house, looking nervously over his shoulder, Tomcat is following close at his measured pace behind to make sure he (the dog) gets the hell out of Dodge.
You could offer me fifty thousand dollars for that cat and I still couldn’t sell him…
Nice, Graham, very nice.

Woof, growl, feint – doesn’t work. Cat won’t be intimidated. Doesn’t flinch.
