CatFight!
The picture above is a rare picture of all 4 of our cats. How did I get them all together at once? There's catnip all over the floor, which is why they all have their noses in the carpet.
A few weeks ago we had a major catfight in our household. We're still not entirely sure how it started. Anne was trying to clip the kitten Random's claws. Random was kicking up a fuss about it. For some reason, this set Pumpkin off. She started attacking Anne, then she attacked Random and Inquisitor. When I got involved, she attacked me. At one point, Pumpkin literally scared the crap out of Random - that was a little mess to clean up.
In the end, Pumpkin spent a total of 6 days in isolation, in one of the bedrooms (she had her own food, water, and litter box in there). She finally got back out to roam the entire house again after we took all of the cats in to the vet for a previously scheduled annual checkup. When they returned from the vet, the collective experience of the traumatic trip to the vet made them forget about their differences and get along again.
Pumpkin, the attacker
Random, the victim (but don't let that fool you - he attacks Pumpkin with great vigor).
He's getting bigger.
Inquisitor, the innocent victim in the whole affair
Ace, pretty much completely uninvolved. Hiding under the bed at the first sign of trouble has it's advantages.
