Hi Gershon, this short poem resonates with me. Where we used to live (about 25 years ago). We lived in a mobile home. Sometimes at 3 in the morning the neighborhood cats would screech in their fighting, lol! Shalom :)

You are a brave soul Robert. It is your caring heart that compelled you to protect both of them from hurting themselves, injuring yourself. That is true love, and compassion on your part. I did the same thing, I broke up a huge German Shepard and a Golden Retriever. I grabbed the Shepard by the collar and pulled him away and in the process he bit my arm several times, puncturing my arm. I had to go to emergency, got a tetanus shot and nothing they can do for puncture wounds. Would I do it again, maybe in a different way...

They make awful sounds. I guess when you hear those sounds, they sound that the act of castration is taking place to produce that sound. I do not know whether to laugh or to cry for these cats. My wife is a cat love, I have to be careful in my comment lol.

Cats are at turns aloof, sensitive, sensuous, and uncannily perceptive. Evidence suggests they can read our thoughts. Good to see you back Michael. My best, Robert
