FELINE TERRORIST ATTACKS SPANIEL IN CROWDED APARTMENT; DOG RETALIATES WITH DARING DAYLIGHT CAT FOOD RAID

Escalating attacks between a black-and-white kitten and a 3-year-old black Cocker Spaniel threaten to deteriorate into civil war in the Upper West Side apartment they share. The violence has escalated from initial taunting and retaliatory barking to recent reports of one or both animals marking their territory on various rugs and pieces of furniture, then blaming the other. The violence began three months ago, when the kitten was adopted from a pet store and placed in the home over the protests of 3-year-old Kahlua, who considers the apartment her sacred homeland.
