The cats, at 2 am.

Me: Vet lady, my cat has a sore foot and is limping!

Vet: Is he a house cat?

Me: No, he sleeps during the day, wants to go out at night.

Vet: He must be getting into fights!
$255 for antibiotic jab, 5 days of pain killer.

Me: 2 am, cat sends a message - 'need to go out to the toilet'.
He ends up fully alert, sitting at the end of the driveway, scanning for enemies, ready to defend his territory.

Me: chases him with a stick, not to hit but to disturb his focus.
Cat gives up, comes inside, back to sleep.
