Ashton: Those of you who are on Twitter heard about my big adventure the other night, but I wanted to tell the rest of my friends, too.
Newton: Seriously? They don’t want to hear this, Ashton. It’s almost putting me to sleep already.
Ashton: Stop it, Newt! Everything isn’t about you.
Newton: *shakes head*
Ashton: As I was saying…. This happened the other night, so there aren’t any photos, but I was sitting out on the porch like I do when it’s open. We are running out of cool nights to have the porch open, and I’m enjoying it every chance I get. Let me do an reenactment to put you in the mood…
Ashton: When along came the neighbor’s cat. He came right up to the screen! Talk about having no manners. Well, he’s an orange cat, and you know how orange cats are with manners.
Newton: I heard that!
Ashton: Well, it’s true. Orange cats have no manners, and the neighbor’s cat especially. He said some things that made the tips of my ears blush. Well, I wasn’t just going to take that. I puffed up my tail so it was bigger than Newton’s.
Newton: See, it really *is* all about me. You can’t stop talking about me and my glorious tailio.
Ashton: Shut UP, Newt! I was just saying I can puff up my tail as big as yours.
Newton: No you can’t.
Ashton: Oh, yes, I can!
Newton: Well, okay, maybe you can.
Ashton: Anyhow. I puffed up my tail and I hissed, and the neighbor’s cat made a terrible noise, and then he ran away. I scared him away!
Newton: *sigh* The head peep got up from her desk to see what the noise was, and the neighbor’s cat ran away from her.
Ashton: Shut UP, Newton! My friends on Twitter all believed in me! Do you see what they tweeted to the head peep about it?
@FelineHerdsCats That was one big Brave moment for her 😀

Ashton: I’m the undefeated champion and protector of the household now. At least until the rug sucking monster comes out again.
Oh sweet Ashton, we absolutely loved hearing about your big, brave adventure! We are proud of you! What a great post!
We didn’t know about your big adventure so we sure are happy you told us about it here (Mommy doesn’t get Twitter). Was that puffy tail of yours an re-enactment too, Ashton? 😉
Ashton dear friend I believe you…especially if the cat was as aggravating as the bushy tailed rodents who come up on my porch waving their stingy tails in my face.
HOwever, I was not aware of the ‘orange cats have no manners’ factoid but then I’ve never met an orange cat either. mol mol mol
Hugs madi your bfff
Wow, Ashton, that was some adventure! And you were very brave in our opinion too. We bet that cat won’t be back anytime soon.
We know all about those orange cats and how they have no manners.
Ernie & Zoey
Ashton, you are soooo brave!!! You am soo brave chasing dat kitty away! Me thinks you could be brave and find dis castle where Bear’s head got losted… Me waz wondering cause you am da bravest!!!
Kin you stops by and help our Mom find Bear’s Head? It am losted somwheres. We found a photo but we dont know where dat am… Purrz, Lu Lu Girl.
Ashton we know you are braver than Newton because if he was even a little tiny bit brave he would have come on the porch and been your minder.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Wow, Ashton, you sure showed that cat who’s boss!
We believe in you!!!! – Crepes.

Concats to Annabelle! That is a great prize! And Ashton you did great with that rude introoder. Psst, we know from experience orinch cats drool too. Our Angel Toby was one WET kitty!
Mr Jinx is so proud of you Miss Ashton. He said he would put that orange cat in it’s place for you no problem! WWOOOOOOHOOOOO to say all the kitties are excited is an understatement. We just are never very lucky in contests so we are doubly no quadruly (is that a word?) excited!!! YAY and this is Annabelle’s first time at winning anything!
The power of the puffed up tail speaks volumes! Just ask us any day.
good job Ashton!!!
I hope that orange cat did not leave any pee-mail! We’ve been lax in the twitterverse but will follow you.
Oh my Ashton, you can tail puff with the best of them!
What an adventure ! You did a great job facing that intruder, Ashton ! Your puffed tail is very impressive ! Purrs, Zorro
Gosh, Ashton, not even Screamoline can scare away an orange boy! You are brave AND powerful!
Good for you Ashton for telling that stray cat to go on it’s way. We are sure that you are a hero. Nice going. Hope you all have a good evening.
Well done Ashton. I am not sure about orange cats not having manners though.
Very brave! Great work Ashton!
Hooray for Ashton! Protector of the household!
That was quite an adventure!
Way to go, Ashton! Master of your Domain.
Don’t feel bad, I’m no fan of that rug-sucking monster either!
; ) Katie
I will let the comments on Orangies go as I know you have the Newt to deal with MOL
Way to go Ashton! That tail really puff up nicely!
Timmy
Just dawned on me, Cody NEVER, EVER puffs up his tail, wonder why?
Its OK Ashton. WE know the introoder ran from YOU, not Mom!
