I don't know the details of the security situation, but it required a telepathic conversation between Watchcat Collette and her backup watchrabbit this morning:

Visitors knew better than to cause mischief when Watchcat Rosie kept close eyes on them:

To my knowledge, no one stepped out of line in January 2004.

Watchcat protocol MMCCCXLV

Watchcat Lily stared at Nemo Fish and Blue Cat until they were ready to share their security procedure ideas on August 18, 2021:

Watchcat Headquarters encourages such constructive feedback from its security guards, so Lily prodded her backup watchanimals to share their thoughts.

It's an admirable watchcat who checks on the welfare of his sea lion:

Watchcat Nemo fulfilled this responsibility commendably in May 2012.

Watchcat protocol MMCCCXLIII

Watchcat Sylvia eventually caught the Cardinal baseball spirit, thanks to mascot Fredbird's enthusiasm in October 2013:

Watchcat protocol MMCCCXLII

Although the walls of her fortress aren't completely sturdy, this cardboard box is Watchcat Collette's guard post, and she likes it:

Watchcat Lily didn't let anyone in her assigned sector out of her sight on February 16, 2023:

After all, a watchcat can't be too careful.

Watchcat protocol MMCCCXXXVIII

You had a suggestion about tweaking security procedures on July 14, 2025?  Watchcat Collette took it under advisement:

I'm not sure what that noncommittal, bureaucratic response means, but based on Collette's expression, I'd advise visitors not to pursue the matter any further.

He enjoyed using it as his guard post in April 2008.

In July 2009, Watchcat Sylvia trusted that all visitors knew she was just doing her job and didn't intend to be heavy-handed during guard duty:

Watchcat Nemo didn't let the festive holiday spirit distract him.  He still guarded his assigned sector with his customary toughness on July 4, 2010:

Watchcat protocol MMCCCXXVI

A watchcat can't be expected to think of every possible security measure.  That's why Watchcat Lily asked her security team for input on September 17, 2021:

Being a watchcat comes with some weighty challenges.  On June 22, 2025, I saw the mantle of responsibilities manifest itself in Watchcat Collette's blue eyes:

Watchcat protocol MMCCCXXIV

Watchcat Sylvia reasoned that there would be plenty of time to play with her cat toy contraption later.  While on duty in April 2012, however, her first priority was guarding her assigned sector:

Watchcat protocol MMCCCXXIII

Watchcats Rosie and Sammy inspected their assigned sector thoroughly and deemed it safe for occupancy in August 2004:

Watchcat protocol MMCCCXXII

...and Watchcat Lily did the same in August 2022: 

Watchcat protocol MMCCCXXI

Watchcat Sylvia always had a kind heart.  She knew when to look skeptical, however, during guard duty in December 2010:

Watchcat Sammy followed this standard protocol in March 2014.

She also didn't permit a lens filter to obscure her visage.

Watchcat Sammy suspected that a situation was brewing in November 2005.  Before confronting the matter, however, he spent several minutes studying it with wide open eyes: 

Watchcat protocol MMCCCXII

Watchcat Headquarters allows watchcats to choose their background music during guard duty.  Before popping in a Wes Montgomery CD, however, Watchcat Collette chose to zero in on a situation in her assigned sector:

That was some responsible prioritizing she did on April 17, 2025. 

Watchcat protocol MMCCCXI

Watchcat Lily renders verdicts on visitors frequently from the Chair Of Judgment:

She concealed her verdicts until she was ready to announce them on June 5, 2025.

Watchcat protocol MMCCCX

Even if a watchcat has a reflexively kind demeanor, it's sometimes necessary for her to show a tough exterior:

Watchcat protocol MMCCCV

Things were tranquil in Watchcat Nemo's assigned sector, but that didn't stop Nemo and his backup watchmouse from keeping tabs on everyone in August 2011:

Watchcat protocol MMCCCIV

The fan had to be cool enough to make Watchcat Sammy's assigned sector comfortable but not so loud that it was distracting.  Sammy kept it on its proper setting on June 24, 2006:
