It's already happened. The aforementioned new kit on the block, a girt black thing, walzed into our garden and parked himself five feet from Ptolemy (who elected to show Olympian detachment) while Herself was there. When the offender scent-marked Ptol's favourite wallow, she instructed him to bugger off, fortissimo. This may well be renegotiated once Ptol's gone claws-up.

Meanwhile, as of this morning, Ptol's got a fortnight's stay of sentence, as he's looking less unlike his old self now the painkillers are kicking in, and he's actually eating more than Dreamies.
