Evil cat threatened!

I had the Asda delivery (hint to Asda delivery drivers - no means no, and no, I don't like strangers in my home, and it's quicker to unload in the garden, so no, you are not coming in! I thought I was going to have to rugby tackle him!) and evil cat sneaked out to take the sun and enjoy a cuddle from Nice Mr Next Door. The ginger gentleman was also out and about.

Evil cat was just taking it easy, when the ginger gentleman started to stalk her. He was coming from a few yards away and he was all feline crouched intent. He was completely focussed on her and in 'about to attack' pose. Evil cat was oblivious. I am not sure how good her eyes are these days, and she is not looking well at all. Once upon a time I would have let the ginger gentleman have the unpleasant surprise that any cat got with an encounter with the younger evil cat, but the poor old girl really is not in a fit state.

Fortunately Nice Mr Next Door chased off the ginger gentleman. It took some doing, the ginger gentleman was very much focussed on his target. He had to do some serious shouting. I chased evil cat inside. She still has the fighting spirit, but she hasn't the old strength. I think she could have been quite badly injured if the ginger gentleman had managed to complete his attack.

So, now I know to keep a very careful eye out for the ginger gentleman. And evil cat has been looking particularly frail today.

Glass half full - the Asda delivery contained all the doughnuts I plan on using instead of birthday cake, so that's good. Darling father is looking better. The Book People delivery is due today. All things to be grateful for.
