Well, the hellbeast that rips up our garbage appeared again Saturday night. He must have strewn it ALL OVER. And that's with the bungee cord on...he must have gotten into the bowed-up areas on either side that happens when I put the bungee cord on. Anway, I was sleeping when Court found it and put everything back in the trash, but when I went to put the trash out last night I looked in the can and there was loose stuff all over the inside. I had to re-bag everything. I swear, if I ever see that thing doing it, I'll destroy it!!!! Thing is, it must have been after 7am Sunday morning, because around that time Boots was mewing like nuts at the front window. I looked outside and saw the trash can had been moved a bit but everything was fine. Then, 3 hours later it was all over the place. I think I'll sleep in the car and catch it in the act one night! I sprayed the trashcan down with RAID last night so it (hopefully) wouldn't be destroyed in the morning, and it wasn't.

Sight seen: gray and white maverick cat out in the back late last night. You can always tell when Boots spots another cat...he freezes up, hunkers down, and doesn't even run away when I'm petting him. It's either one of the two 'outside' cats in the neighborhood, or some kind of raccoon that's messing with our trash.
