Irene the cat

Here she is... Irene Adler, better know by all of the neighborhood dogs as Irene the Terror.

A little wink for you...



We have only recently been letting Irene out of the house. Well, we are not really letting her out. She actually bolts when the door is opened for longer than 60 seconds.

Honestly, I have never seen such a territorial cat, a female cat at that. When other cats come around she puffs up, growls, and charges them off of the property. There is only one cat who does not tolerate this and that is our neighbor's cat. He is three times her size, but she does not let that scare her, she puts up a fight until I come out and "shoo" him off the porch.

However, the neighborhood dogs are a different story. She still puffs up, and growls, but instead of just chasing them to the property line she has actually chased two dogs down the street. One day I am afraid she will chase the wrong dog.

In the meantime, all you dogs in East Hill, take a good long look at her so you know what she looks like. And when you get to our house, cross the street and walk on the other sidewalk.



You have been warned!
