Subject: [Leica] IMG: Cat on a hot white picket fence

My cat lives at my parents' house, where he was born around the time I
graduated from high school. They got the dog a few years ago and the cat
still hasn't forgiven them. Don't feel too sorry for the 'puppy', she is big
enough that you could put a saddle on her back. The cat is big, but he is
old, fat, sick, and declawed. If that huge dog lets the cat kick her ass,
she's a pussy!

Here's photos of them:

Simba's aunt, his mother's sister, was my grandpa's cat. That cat was evil.
She tore up a pit bull once in a completely unprovoked attack. She jumped on
the dog's back from on top of a fencepost. This was the neighbor's dog! She
also killed at least two rattlesnakes that we know of and when grandpa got a
big dog, she jumped on top of the cage it was in, reached through the bars,
and clawed the dog's face up so bad it needed stitches.
