She looked like such a sweet thing....



We were pet sitting for our friend.  His cat, Reepicheep, and our cat, Dufflepud, are mortal enemies. 

One night we heard the low growls of an imminent cat fight.  Matt went in to separate them.  As he scooped up Reepicheep, she was in mid attack.  Dufflepud was suddenly out of her reach but she decided that the hand in front of her would do.  

CHOMP.  

From the other room I heard an "ARRRGGGHHH" that sound much more man like than cat like.  

"That didn't sound good, " I responded.  There was no reply.  I entered the living room and saw Matt tightly hold his thumb and grimacing.



She is now happily back at her house by herself with no children, other cats, or noise.  Just Fezzik - who she likes -  and her job:  mouse catching.

side note - she and Fezzik are cute together.  She attacks our friends toes while he sleeps and Fezzik gets up and protects the toes from the cat.  She attacks Fezziks tail and legs for fun.  When she is being naughty he runs and jumps toward her to stop her.

After this attack on Matt, Fezzik wouldn't let Reepicheep out of the corner.  He stood in front of her everytime she tried to go anywhere.  That lasted all the next day.  : )
