Rascal wanted to hang out with me on the porch on a warm day a few days ago.
A few mornings ago after 6 am I was woken up by a loud low growl. I looked outside and saw Rascal growling at a new neighbor cat near my backdoor. No fights. The neighbor cat was low and laid or slowly moved away. Rascal followed and told the other cat to leave, this is Rascal's place. I went outside to help and the other cat then left and headed for the road. Rascal wanted to follow to the road but a loud pickup driving by convinced Rascal to turn around. He came back home with me and we went back to sleep.
