At 4:50am, we were awakened by the sound of cats fighting. This is a common occurrence in the neighbourhood, and though I KNOW Suki is in the house, I always get up and check just in case. So, as I heard the sound, I sat up and looked down the hallway to see two black blurs run out of the bedroom at the other end of the hallway, and through the kitchen. There was a big crash, and still a lot of howling and hissing. We heard them thundering downstairs as we tried to get ourselves awake enough to chase them. When we finally made it into the kitchen, the howling had stopped and Suki was just coming up the stairs, wide-eyed, and with a tail about 6" in diameter. We ran downstairs to find that Aaron had left a window open when he was jack hammering the floor last night, a window that had the screen removed from when we were passing demo debris through it last week. The cat must have wandered in, came upstairs, and found Suki looking out the window in the spare room. Suki, obviously, saw it, and took off after it. The other cat must have tried to make a tight turn at the fridge, not realizing there were open shelves on the other side, and gone right through, knocking all of the contents on to the floor. I'm assuming the it must have found super-kitty powers to make the leap from the floor up to the window it had entered through. Suki is a short haired tabby (very distinct hair...I can always tell when it's her fur on me), but we only found long gray and white hair in the house.
Yay for Suki the Attack Cat!!!
A very anticlimactic ending.....she usually wakes us up at 5 to be fed, anyways, so we fed her, had a bran muffin and a glass of milk each, then went back to bed until about 9.
