Well, Beta cat (Alpha cat’s sidekick and lieutenant – he’s the only one of the five that’s unfixed – we wanted him to develop body mass and be a competent scrapper) almost cashed in his chips yesterday – he went wizzing by the house across the snow yesterday with a fisher cat in hot pursuit and the two disappeared.
He came back a few hours later, got a new tear in his backside (the wife is a truly excellent field vet) but is otherwise just fine. Although Beta still gets his ass whupped by Alpha (who we watched train him in fighting when Beta was very young) he can still pull off standing off a deadly predator.
Looks as if he’s become the tough, rowdy tomcat we wanted him to be.
God help the fisher cat if the two are ever on patrol and come across it.
