Right after I answered the earlier messages in this thread, I went out to the car to get some papers I needed to grade before this mornings classes. As usual, Midnight followed me out the door and toward the driveway. However, after I got the car door open, I heard screaming coming from behind the house, and went to find Midnight and another cat going at it on the patio. I pried them apart--as best I could tell in the dark, the other cat looked more or less Siamese and, though I didn't recognize it, it's obviously some neighbor's cat as it seemed well-cared-for and used to handling (didn't try to scratch or bite me when I pried him off Midnight because by that time the other cat was on top--and the other cat took off. Neither of them seemed to have any obvious injuries. Now if I could only get Midnight to understand that it is because such incidents can happen that is why I carried him to the vet Monday morning for his rabies and FeLV and other shots -- he was NOT happy to go and spent the rest of the day after we got home sulking.
D.J., of course, watched the whole thing from the window . . .
