**BREAKING NEWS FROM OUR HOME AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT** Fighting broke out today over disputed territory on the stairs. Tensions erupted after canine troops attempted to bypass feline forces encamped in the area. The stairs are a prized access route to the bedroom, and have been defended for some time by forces loyal to The Cat. A spokeperson for The Cat claims that the canine attempt to force through the stockade is an overt act of aggression and therefore feline troops are required to act in self-defence. However, the leader of the canine forces has stated "I left my chewy toy in the bedroom. I just wanted to chew it. I like chewing. I like cats too. Will you be my fwend?"
