Earlier this week there was <i>an incident<\/i> involving our beloved <a href=\"http:\/\/snout.org\/foodrobot\">Food Robot<\/a> and our somewhat disruptive house guest, <a href=\"http:\/\/hotsheet.snout.org\/2012\/09\/lady-grey-is-not-amused.html\">Lady Grey<\/a>!  Everything is fine now, but I must <i>report<\/i> on these shenanigans!<\/p>\n<p>It is <i>possible<\/i> that Lady Grey became aware that Food Robot is only designed to feed two cats, and since Tye and I have seniority in this household, she would always be the third wheel.  It is also <i>possible<\/i> that this disparity came into stark relief when the humans were away for much of <a href=\"http:\/\/34.orycon.org\/\">last weekend<\/a>, and thus did not feed us as often.<\/p>\n<p>But we do not <i>deal<\/i> in speculation!  We are interested in <i>facts!<\/i>  AND HERE ARE THE FACTS:<\/p>\n<p>At 7:00 AM on Monday, November 5th, Food Robot delivered our breakfast as usual.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/-jbjaAcCBqJY\/UJr2DMei9sI\/AAAAAAABgiQ\/jakpQrh-ZHQ\/s400\/12-11-05%254007%256008%2560016579.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>About twenty minutes later, Lady Grey approached Food Robot&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/-GBZ_a_NGIrY\/UJr2D458JaI\/AAAAAAABgiY\/vbHzaQfVPqg\/s400\/12-11-05%254007%256025%2560496589.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and instigated a vicious and <i>unprovoked<\/i> attack!  And <i>yes<\/i>, she is actually <i>chewing<\/i> on the blue tape which secures the ramp to the housing!  Outrageous!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/-g1pA9RGI0Bk\/UJr2F_OPF3I\/AAAAAAABgjA\/NEXhYsE3ydw\/s400\/12-11-05%254007%256026%2560396594.jpg\" \/><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/-3nCYed1pW0E\/UJr2Ind_d-I\/AAAAAAABgjw\/CSS8UHMWD_s\/s400\/12-11-05%254007%256028%2560396604.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Moments later, summoned by Tye, one of the humans came along to document the crime scene.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/-esLZ-QiS5BE\/UJr2KowrAoI\/AAAAAAABgkU\/aFuac1gNuN4\/s400\/12-11-05%254007%256035%2560486624.jpg\" \/><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/-v8tl_sQfnwk\/UJr4ok6wizI\/AAAAAAABgnE\/2z_WBfDOZIE\/s400\/photo.JPG\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And then we all went back to sleep for a while.  The humans knew our next auto-feeding would not happen until 6:00 PM, so they had plenty of time to repair the damage.<\/p>\n<p>BUT WAIT!  Something <i>else<\/i> happened less than ninety minutes later, and it was <i>caught on camera!<\/i><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/-Z5uL6OaZe-k\/UJr2C2KXB5I\/AAAAAAABgiI\/sIl1sN2KOtg\/s400\/12-11-05%254009%256008%256017.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Really?
