    Luckily the household cat here - Luc "the Terminator" -
is not fond of the Siamese "muscle."
    Only times Luc has showed fear was when 3 racoons gangbanged
their way into the house through the cat door... and when he spotted
dog-sized sewer rats.
    BTW "Luc" is short for Lucifer, but pronounced like Luke.
