3 am is not my best time of night!
In fact, though I'm a morning person, and quite happy to rise at 7am, the "early hours" of the morning are for 'Zees', NOT jumping out of bed at the sound of our puddytat being attacked!
As many of you know, (via my Facebook page) we have a beautiful, small, loving, timid, little puddytat, 'Jem', (short for Jemima, her given name by the Milton Keynes & District Cats Protection where she came from) - who is quite happy to wander around our front or back garden during the day time, but rarely goes out in the dark; but for her convenience, we've a cat-flap let into the back door.
However, last night, at 3am, the bruiser-tom from 2-doors up entered via said cat-flap, and having got as far as the lounge, was sussed by our Jem, whereupon an almighty cat fight ensued! ... Except 'Bruiser-Tom' didn't expect Jem to put up such a crackin' good counter attack, repelling the intruder with the most ghastly of screeches and, no doubt, paws-n-claws flying! (Pure speculation on my part, but the morning showed how that dratted tom-cat had exited the kitchen, through the cat-flap, SO fast, he's broken the flap hinge off and burst the cat-flap frame screws out from the back door!
Of course, at 3am, when awoken with a Banshee-like screech, yowls, and the sounds of a mighty cat fight, I just jumped out of bed and shot into the dining room and kitchen, switching on every light as I went through - and blinking hard against the light! - to find our Jem with the bushiest of tails, but not a scratch on her, guarding the hole where the cat-flap had been!
I've installed a 9mm 'Kalashnikov' sub-machine gun pointing through the cat flap, and on CCTV/PIR alert now... Jem says, "Make my day, punk!" (Joke! Seriously, I *do not* do cruelty to animals... even 'orrid bruiser-toms!)
