This morning Ginny was attacked by a really mean stray cat! I was taking her out to do her "business" early this morning when it happened. I live on the second floor in a condo and outside my door is a hallway. My neighbors insist on keeping the doors to the hallway propped open with rocks. Anyways, we stepped out the door and I saw this big black cat in the door of the hallway. It hissed and looked mean so I told Ginny to "leave it" and we went the other way to avoid it. But this evil cat-jerk had to follow us and was now getting aggressive! I pulled Ginny around me to get myself between her and the cat but it went ahead and scratched her, right above her nose. The cat sat back on its haunches and growled. Ginny showed no aggression towards the cat (she knows better because I don't let her chase our cats) - this thing was not defending itself from her but was on the attack! I didn't want to go back in the apartment, because my own cat Minerva was right inside the door and I know she would totally lose in any fight because she has zero street cred. So all I can do is start pushing the cat out of the hallway with my foot while holding poor Ginny and then try to kick the rock out from under the door to close the door to the hallway. I ended up kicking the rock down the stairs which frightened the cat enough that it ran off. Then Ginny and I had to go out the other door for her to finally go potty. I didn't realize she was scratched until we got back in the house. I rinsed her little nose off under the sink and put some neosporin on it. I hope it doesn't get infected! :(

I could still hear that mean old cat yowling outside the door the rest of the morning while I was getting ready.

I'm just glad Ginny's had all her shots and I'll just have to watch the scratch to make sure it doesn't get infected. It isn't very deep, he just nicked her a little bit, but who knows what kind of diseases he could have had?? Anyways, sort of a stressful morning!
