Mrs. Next Door complained about Angus again. He's been frightening their poodle. She says Angus stalks it. I explained, "Well, he's a Scottish wildcat, that's what they do. They stalk their prey."

She said, "I don't really think it should be a household pet, in that case."

I said, "He's not a household pet, believe me. I have tried to train him but he ate his lead. There is only so much you can do with Angus."

Honestly, is it really my job to deal with hysterical neighbors? Why doesn't she get a bigger dog? The stupid yappy thing annoys Angus.
