One of our cats has been yeowling through the night for the past few weeks and I'm fairly certain that he's a regional leader in the conspiracy. His main objective seems to be to wear us down through exhaustion, and I suspect the other cats are finalizing their tactical plans for the second wave of the hostile take-over.

My cats left half a dead mouse (the bottom half) in my porch. Almost stepped on it with sock feet the other morning. Bleah.

I thought they were just doing their job. But now I think about it, maybe it's a cat mafia warning, like the 'horse head in bed.'

A real story of animals gone wild, exploding, incendiary bats:

during WWII, B.F.Skiner trained pigeons to peck on an image of a ship on a glass plate...keep it centered and they were rewarded with corn...a lens device was constructed to project an image of a real ship, repeated pecks on a not centered image caused the tilt table to mechanically steer the bomb it was attached to...could have used one on the Paul Doumier Bridge

I have a Cardinal that has been pecking on my den window for a month now. I'm not talking about an occasional bump, I'm talking full blown morse code type pecking, from the time the sun comes up till it goes down. Just maybe the bird is sending messages to my 2 house cats. After some dubious searching I found this nugget.
