Good work by my cat this morning – only his third day of being allowed outside and he is already showing an admirable grasp of tactics in an encounter with the neighbours’ cat.
- My cat doing reconnaissance in his garden spots…
-
The neighbours’ cat, sat in its garden.
-
My cat advances and occupies the high ground on the border of his territory.
-
After a prolonged staring match, the neighbours’ cat retreats to a hidden position.
-
My cat uses the dead ground in the next door flats’ car park to flank the neighbours’ garden.
-
My cat occupies the high ground in a position to observe the retreat route of the neighbours’ cat.
At that point I can only assume that the neighbours’ cat was nowhere to be seen as my cat went off to explore the interesting smells on the lids of the flats’ bins.
