My neighbors got two adorable kittens this summer which have since turned into cats. I'm becoming very familiar with these animals because their favorite place is our yard, where they stalk the little feathered creatures who come here to eat and drink.
This is a dilemma. I love animals, but I don't love cats eating my little friends. So on seeing one getting ready to do this, I rush into the yard hissing, arms flapping, yelling "go away you stupid cat," and all sorts of other things that probably chip away at my local reputation.
The typical scenario goes something like this.
1. I look out the window and see this flat cat shape in the bottom of the rain garden (the best stalking spot when it isn't raining).
2. I burst out the front door, pretending to be a very VERY dangerous person.
3. The cat calmly gazes up at me.
4. My voice gets louder and louder. My arms flap harder and harder. This finally inspires the cat to move.
5. The cat begins walking towards me purring loudly. I don't think it's getting the idea.
6. The cat begins rubbing against my legs.
7. I pat it.
