It should be fine...

Yes, it does sound bad, but how much damage can one cat really do? You'll take care of it when you get home; you're already pushing it to arrive on time to work. You head for the exit, but it seems the clamour from the bedroom has suddenly intensified. You turn just in time to see the door explode in a shower of splinters. Russell the cat is there, imposing and adorable, with ferocious fangs and wide bright eyes. While his form remains unchanged, he has all the presence of a pride of hungry lions.
