One day I was outside with my girls. Went inside to top up my coffee or something.

Came back out to find one nose to nose with a baby skunk. (Lots around here)

I internally panicked but relized that may not me the best thing to do.

I just calmly told my cats it was time to come in.

Since then I've taken to calling skunks 'smelly cats' and I wonder if that's what Phoebe's song was about.

My dad had a pet skunk as a kid. I think he said it kind of acted like a cat.

This is a great story. No one was hurt, a fun nickname was born, and you might have solved Phoebe. Not bad
