The Kitty-Cat Diaries

So last night I'm sitting in my apartment and this weird cat comes right up to my little pet door and acts like he's just gonna come right on in and check things out.

And I'm like, "No! You don't live here!" and he scrams.

Makes me wonder what's going on when I'm not home...is there some kind of kitty commune going down in my apartment that I don't know about? Has my place become some sort of crash pad for wandering felines all hopped up on catnip and looking for a bowl of free munchies?

Am I gonna have to install some kind of paw identification system on the kitty door?

When my sister was going to school down at Cal Poly SLO she lived in a house that had a problem sort of like this. There was some hole in the house somewhere that allowed cats egress. Stray cats would sneak in at night and pillage the domestic cats food.

One night her boyfriend heard a cat fight in the storage room where the cat food was kept. He went to check it out and found two cats facing off in their usual puffy haired/arch backed cat manner. One of the cats was supposed to be in the house and one wasn't. In a moment of extremely poor decision making, he reached down and attempted to grab the unwelcome cat and put it outside. Having come to this point directly from bed he was wearing minimal (if any) clothing. The cat protested being picked up in the usual cat protest manner. With it's claws. With vigor.

The cat eventually won the fight when it sank it's claws into the boyfriend's scrotum and started doing Tarzan swings from it. I'm not sure exactly what happened after that. I assume all of the boyfriend's focus went from 'getting the strange cat out of the house' to 'getting the fiery claws of agony out of my nutsack'.

A good argument for letting the cats fight it out amongst themselves.
