close call with a late night visitor...

2 stripes...not a good sign...and look at the tail raised...another bad sign...

and two of our very stupid cats trying to investigate...

I was praying really hard...

but no one got sprayed...

or bit...

or scratched...

we have a crazy neighbor 3 doors down who feeds these guys...

this is our first encounter this summer...

hopefully, it's the last...
