“Beware the Jabberwock, my friends! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!" ~Alice in Wonderland

Our mysterious creature, the Jabberwock as it were, has successfully slain an OP that spoke of this benign beast, albeit an OLDER ONE:



It then ran through still another OP, which merely proclaimed the decree by "the peers of the realm" about the original one.

SAFETY FIRST, COMRADES. STOP, LOOK and LISTEN:



“Beware the Jabberwock. The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun the frumious Bandersnatch!" ~Lewis Carroll, "Through the Looking Glass"

Alice finds the nonsense as puzzling as the odd land she has passed into, later revealed as a dreamscape, also known as Down the Rabbit Hole or Underground Wonderland.

So it's cats for us.

Goats seem to yell a lot, but they are entertaining!

As you can see, I had to use veiled language and code words to escape the wrath of the dreaded Jabberwock.
