The war on the colony of cats escalated today.
At about 3:45 am I got up to get a drink of water and noticed that the screen door was rather ajar. I of course blamed our turncoat kittens, and locking the door, went off to bed. A few minutes later I heard the noise of cat claws on the new wingchairs, and went out to set the cats straight.
Upon entering the library I discovered a spy. After rapidly closing the door I roused reinforcements, who conducted operations to remove Abelard (the idiot) and conduct reconnaissance into the cat's demeanor. Determining it to be calm, I went and got the trap.
The cat was less than enthusiastic about going into the trap.
I went and got the larger of our cat carriers and Jessica wrapped the damn thing up and placed it in the top. With the cat trapped we could finally go to bed.
This war can be won. We will not let a spy in our midst deter us. This axis of feline evil will fall.
