I came home from work last night, My wife Rose Ann said "Arty Joe, Your cat got outside today and was chasing the ducks".
I said "my cat?".
She said "yep, your cat, I was taking a load of laundry outside to hang up to dry and the door must not have closed fast enough and "your cat", must have got out".
She went on, "I was sitting here working on the computer and I could hear the momma duck screaming, finally I got up to see why, there sat (your cat) at the end of the driveway looking at momma duck out in the street.
She went on, "well momma duck wouldn't stop screaming and some of the neighbors came out to see whats going on so I chased Momma duck away for now".
I said, "Rose Ann, those Ducks stay here because this is there home, they feel safe here, please don't chase either of them away again, eventually she would have calmed down".
I adjusted the door so it closes faster.
Both Ducks are here as I type, poor babies...
I had a long talk with Rachel, all is back to normal.

Your Cat! So that's what you get for getting a cat! Such a sweetie too.

CAUTIONARY NOTE: Watch out about the faster door - one of our dogs ended up with a shorter tail because of a quick screen door. It wasn't a fun time for us or him.

PS - I'm surprised the duck didn't get help chasing the cat around! Ducks & Geese can be very protective. Cats hate confrontation.

"You're" cat just wanted a playmate, Arty.

She looks pretty pleased with herself to me!
