True! Related, but different critters.

But if those housecats hadn't been so selfish (they wouldn't be cats...) - they could have take out those intruders handily! The noticed them real early and could easily have gotten underfoot, tripped them, and used their claws to make them sorry they ever broke into the house. Only problem - acting like guard dogs is not in their job description.

Still, I think it was a win for the lady of the house. She ran off the bad guys and didn't have to tangle with the cops (that we know of) - which she probably would have, if her shots had connected.

Cats have fangs and claws. We usually keep our claws retracted, but they come out instantly when needed.

As far as more range time / happier ending - the good guys are safe, the bad guys ran, nobody got dead and nobody got arrested.

Getting thrown in jail for shooting someone - even if later found not-guilty and released - is to be avoided if possible.

I think the outcome was real satisfactory; only better ending would be the cops grabbed the bad guys and threw them in jail.

Too bad the cats couldn't talk...
