Something is living under my front doorstep. I haven't seen it yet but I heard it growl at my dog today. Usually cats hiss at her, but this was definitely a low growl. It didn't sound like another dog though. Any ideas?
The space where I think it got in there is too small for my dog to get in, so whatever it is must be smaller than a springer spaniel. It likes kibble, chicken, and water.

Zen - it sounds very much like that. Thank you.
Trek - I don't think we do.
Guess I'll be phoning bylaw on Monday to see if they can come get it. Hopefully it can stay warm enough down there to get through the weekend. It's pretty well sheltered and I gave it an old shirt in case it wants more than dirt for a bed.

If it's a cat growling, then it's really scared and angry, and possibly feral. A hissing cat is about to fight its way out, in my opinion.
It may be a mama who gave birth under your stairs. If you keep feeding it, you might have lots of little kitties on your hands.
No, not WAR kittens! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yosTIwbFjzM#
I think the best thing to do is get the animal control folks and get it out of there. If it's feral, you don't want it setting up residence under there. If it's not feral, it probably has a home and someone's looking for it.
