Looking around and there were all 3 cats in 3 different doorways, all crouched down silent and just watching.. thank GOD the skunk seemd to FINALLY realise it was being watched from all directions or something and it got the hell out of the house..

whew that coulda been MUCH WORSE!!!!! haha

Good luck with your animals.
