Did you ever have one of those weeks at work where you thought there
would be no end and wonder just how to keep your head up til 4 on
Friday.  It's been one of those for me, plus we purchased new furniture
this week and have spent most of our evenings and nights assembling it.
So the days have been dragging and the animals are kind of restless with
so many new boxes to search through and destroy.

Well, I was later than usual getting home yesterday evening which meant
the cats were later getting fed.  That's a major no-no around here and
an open invitation to chaos.

I walk through the door and sitting in the centre of the livingroom in
all his glory is Sookey-Boo, doing the king of the castle stance.  I was
surprised my dog hadn't come to the door to greet me and wondered
exactly who was getting the hairy eyeball from Sookey-Boo off in the
corner of the dining room.  So, I rounded the corner to drop off my bag
and under the china cabinet are Squirrel, Peepers and Maggot hidden in
the corner.  By all looks, I'd hazard a guess that Sookey-Boo decided it
was time he took matters in his own paws and let them know who is Boss
once again.  Neither animal moved when I called them and put out food.
I had to literally pick Sookey-Boo up and turn him around so he was no
longer facing them.  Quickly they all made their escape.

I laughed so hard, it was great to Sookey-Boo regain his territory (he's
19 and has always been Boss but he's been letting matters slip lately).
I'm guessing he put the "young un's" back in line for some reason or
another.  But then again with Sookey-Boo he doesn't really need a
reason.

After all were fed everything returned to normal with each animal
re-establishing their favourite haunts.

I'm still smiling over this.  Not because they were all cowering in the
corner but because it felt good to see Sookey-Boo back to his old self.
There's is a strong territorial instinct in this cat and it was
comforting to see him exert it, it's been a while since I've seen it.
