Kathleen,

My Annabelle, Jack Russell "Terror" used to go mad when the next door (a
twin side by sid house)cats would put their paws under the dividing door.
DROVE HER UP THE WALL. She SO much wanted to attack.

Then one day the cats were teasing my Annabelle and by some mistake the
door opened.

There were four cats who instantly raised their fur in anger/surprise and
hissed, fangs and claws exposed. I witnessed it with in surprise.

Annabelle, the proud protector of our premises instantly ran behind my
wife's chaise lounge!

While the door was CLOSED, she was very intimidating, but face to face...
quite the coward!

Best,

Andy
