Warning to all other cats:
Keep away from my yard. If you do not, I will paw and scratch at the backdoor window as loud as I possibly can, until you go away. I will do this day or night, so keep away.

That’s fair. No argument from this former staffer. The current “Cats-O-the-house” have a similar rule. Patch (who is not Alpha) leaves that particular chore to Chief Tig (who is clearly Alpha). On one occasion, Patch had taken up the aft patio door watch. When the neighborhood orange cat (call sign O-ranger) came by on his normal rounds, Patch left his post to find Chief Tig and inform him that the big O-ranger cat was present. Chief Tig sprinted from his perch in the family room to announce to O-ranger the rules about being in the yard and being entirely too close to the patio door. The decibel level emitted from Chief Tig was off the scale. Cars traveling on the street were seen to pull over, the drivers thinking that an emergency vehicle was approaching nearby. Amazing. Simply amazing.
