Ahhh those pesky elementals are a constant struggle to keep under control.
last night i was once again confronted by them, in the form of three big cats. Two were panthers, big black beauties. Very serene, sitting/lying around purring...
The other was even bigger. He was black also, but i knew he was a cross between a panther and a tiger. He was huge!
And he wasn't behaving. He kept trying to get out of the house we all lived in. He'd come to the front door as i was leaving, and try to escape. I'd grab him, and he'd grab my hand in his mouth.
Then the battle of wills would begin... He'd have my hand clamped between his back teeth, tight enough to have a really strong grip, but not tight enough to take a finger off. I knew he could any time, if he wanted, but i knew he wouldn't. So we'd be at the doorway, i'd be talking to him, telling him to behave and get inside, while trying to drag his huge bulk into the hall...he'd be digging his claws into the floor, and giving me little hard bites, as if to remind me "i could have your fingers off in a minute pal".
I showed no fear, and after quite a struggle, he eventually gave up and allowed me to escort him back in to the main room, where the others were lying playing...
