There are some enemies in the compound who are sworn pets and would not normally associate without a healthy dose of convention. There are times of endless cat and dog fights which look irreconcilable. The interesting thing about these fights is that they rarely result in fatalities or even injuries when the pets are related thematically. But when the pets are unrelated, this results in a tragedy of sorts when the weaker pet is scratched and sheds some blood resultinog in the carnivore devouring the weaker pet especially if it is a chicken. There are some instances when a dog has to be contained in its kennel when avian pets are roaming about since after tasting blood, they seem to be impossible to rehabilitate.
