Watchcat protocol MMDCXXXVIII

When there was wisdom to be dispensed, Watchcat Collette and her watchrabbit were there to dispense it on July 7, 2026:

Watchcat Lily didn't have a rope with which to cordon off the landing.  She explained to visitors that the upstairs portion of her assigned sector was off limits on July 4, 2026:

Fortunately, there were no scuffles over this restriction.

It's not wise to trifle with a watchcat or her watchrabbit.  That much was clear, based on Watchcat Collette's expression last month:

Holidays are often fun, but sometimes, things can get rowdy.  Watchcat Lily was ready to bean miscreants in her assigned sector with a basketball last night:

Fortunately, no one got out of hand, so no beaning was necessary.

Upon returning home this morning, I saw Watchcat Collette looking down on me from the living room window.  Initially, I wondered if she was thinking, "Oh, good.  My guardian has returned."  Then, I realized, "Actually, she's probably thinking, 'Oh, good.  My subject has returned.'"

Such is life with an independent-minded watchcat.

I felt sorry for Watchcat Lily a few years ago when the loud bang of a firecracker going off startled her and made her turn her head nervously.  To her credit, she recovered quickly and continued guarding her assigned sector.

Here's hoping all watchcats and other animals stay safe during this year's fireworks displays.

This morning, I asked Watchcat Collette and her stuffed watchrabbit toy, "How's my security team today?"  Watchcat Collette attempted to grab my hand and bite it.  Her watchrabbit remained still.

That's what you want in a security duo--a watchrabbit who keeps an eye on the assigned sector and a watchcat who's ready to spring into action.

Granted, attempting to bite me was overzealous, but I'm sure Collette just wanted to show me how seriously she takes her job.
