Well, I would like you to take a good, long look at this kitty who VANQUISHED an intruder last night, scaring the bejesus out of mama (who was blithely writing something on the computer she borrowed from ME) and who, when she heard the shrieking of the battling warriors, FINALLY ran outside to…well…save the INTRUDER from a fate worse than death!  (PS my pic is here because often I need a selfie from the Web…haha. Evidently my Adobe Elements pics are too big to upload, more than 2mb).  Whatever that is.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I gave that kitty what-for, believe you me!  All mama saw was two balls of fur screeching at the top of their muzzles but was it I who was taking a beating. NO WAY, JOSE! I had that kitty cornered behind the wild asparagus plant and was giving him…well…HELL!

Don’t tread on me! Itch, itch.  But tasty shoots in the spring.

Speaking of asparagus plants, we both (the kitty and I, that is) must have gotten some asparagus juice (!) on our fur, because when mama stroked and petted me saying what a brave Loulou I was, you  know, all that mushy stuff, she then rubbed her eyes and they itched all night!  If you have ever walked through wild asparagus ferns, you won’t do it again.  Itch, itch, itch.

But I digress.  That poor kitty (mama knows him from the ‘hood) ran back and forth trying to get OUT of the garden and mama actually felt sorry for him because he was in a panic when she came outside and he simply could not find a way out.  I actually hope he’s okay…

BUT–NO KITTY GETS IN MY TERRITORY WITHOUT REPRISALS!  You HEAR THAT, you wandering kitties of Collioure.

Actually, mama was stunned by my aggression, I, the pacifist, who lie lazily sniffing the nip and rolling around on the warm stepping stones and gravel and compost and snuggling up between knees at night…

Yes, that very same Loulou, kicked…well, whatever it is you kick…and that guy won’t be back for a LOOOOONNNNG time.

The exhausted warrior dreams of battle.
