In tonight's episode of Adventures in Dementia Land, I am hoping that someone can help me answer some questions after a puzzling conversation.   J shared tonight that he received a neighborhood watch email today stating that several bobcats have been spotted in the area and recommending that folks keep their small pets indoors.  He then said that he wanted me to "be careful" when I take the garbage out at night and to make sure that I let him know before heading outside.   Here are my questions:  1) What SMALL pet does J think I resemble?   2) Does he think that I head outside after dark with treats in my hand calling, "here, kitty, kitty"?  3) what could J possibly do to help in the unlikely event that a bobcat attacked me AND that he heard my screams?   I'm thinking that the flicking the front porch light off and on wouldn’t be much of a deterrent in that situation.   Any insights provided will be appreciated.
