Two Way Stretch

I let the dogs out last night before bed and while they were out I did my normal prep for bed routine. Upon approaching the back door, in the dark, I stopped just in time to avoid this little scene ...
Several scenarios come to mind; the carnage of a cat fight, a midnight yoga session, a dual attempt to cool off, or a plea for a belly rub. This is the lion Petal wore for Halloween 2007 - somehow he ended up in the jaws of Archer and made his way to the back door - possibly an escape attempt. Perhaps Ceilidh tackled him before he could make a break for it.
Weasley came to investigate but didn't seem to care about whether Ceilidh might need help getting up. She reached out to him a couple times but he just turned away. Cold Weasley ... real cold.
In the end Ceilidh gave Lion a little tug on his tail, perhaps to be sure he wasn't going any
where and then she bolted when she realized I intended to open the door to let the dogs in. Unless you want to be road kill the cats know it's always a good idea to get out of the way of a pack of Ridgebacks ...
