I was minding my own business taking inventory of the garden plants when the howling of cats echoed through the neighborhood. The Terminator had risen again and he had cornered Fred in a yard I couldn’t reach. For four hours the stalemate remained and the howling continued.
Fred made an escape to a place I could reach him. I tried separating the cats with water but the Terminator would not be put off. I then had to chase Fred for about a half hour through the neighbor’s garden. Me chasing Fred, the Terminator chasing me. When I finally captured Fred Terminator cat immediately shredded my leg.
Terminator cat then stalked me home, through my yard hissing and growling at me the whole time. But I prevailed and Fred was deposited safely inside unharmed but quite indignant.
After wiping off blood and applying antibiotics I limped down to the neighbor’s. It turns out Terminator cat is part of new neighbor’s household. Terminator cat stalked me the entire route and parked himself on front step growling.
I stared the Terminator down and nicely inquired of owner if Terminator cat had all his vaccinations. Didn’t really care if he did. I was hoping that by leaving a trail of blood to neighbor’s and bleeding on her doorstep with bloody towels in hand that she will inspired to keep the Terminator grounded.
If not there is barbecued cat in my future.
