pissing contests between cats named for C19 literary characters (one American and one English)
Bartleby, the little black kitty who has taken residence on my back porch, has begun spraying to mark his territory. What's worse is that I think Marley has taken up the gauntlet and yesterday I came home to a distinct odor of something nasty in the dining room that wasn't there before. I hate to do this, because I really like the idea of providing shelter to a feral cat and all, but obviously the spraying is unacceptable, so it is time to finish the back porch and get a door that closes so he can't come in anymore.
Sorry, Bartleby, but you have quite literally pissed me off.
