All *right*!!!!! Good for Clyde. Hope ol' Deo has learned his
lesson well.

On a side note, the seige of Diablo, the grey semi-feral that
terrorized our neighborhood all last summer, ended on an ironic note.
After months of his attacks, umpteen visits to the vet, searching the
grounds for signs of Diablo's presence before letting Hobo and
Speckles out, an inordinate amount of time staying outside with them
to supervise (not always successfully), rescuing them at the first
sign of Diablo's appearance, Hobo & Speck became indoor-only kitties
due to Hobo's 3-day disappearance and subsequent illness. The tension
eased. The irony, unfortunately, is that Diablo's body was found on a
busy nearby-street in early spring. Actually, I was saddened at this
"solution" and miss his stalking. The poor guy knew little in life
but folks throwing things at him, yelling, chasing him away - no love
at all; though my neighbor and I both put out food for him, he
accepted no overtures of friendship.

Bottom line, it's great that Clyde finally put Deo in his place. Good
for him. (But I'm glad the King isn't *really* dead!!!!)
