Also a good reason to get a dog. Especially you single ladies. A cat would have hit under the bed, while a dog would have been barking their heads off as soon as the perp went onto the back deck.

Agreed. I have three, 82lbs., 85lbs. and 100 lbs. And a S&W 686 .357 magnum revolver.
I'm not single, but that doesn't always make a difference to a rapist.
