I first saw the three skunks one late night three Tuesdays ago, there
was a big momma skunk, and 2 baby skunks scurrying back under the shed
when I had come outside of the house with a dixie cup I had placed a
spider in after I found it in the kitchen dangling on a potholder. At
first I thought it was a neighbor's cat because they were sitting so
close together, and I had never actually seen a skunk alive and or
moving except on tv. But as soon ads I saw the white stripe I dropped
the cup and dashed into the house where I quickly bolted the door.

I believe some skunks will actually pose as cats in order to seduce
unsuspecting female cats, so there's no shame in your mistake. You may in
fact have seen this 'on TV' as you say. Note that after you dash into the
house and bolt the door, you should brace your back against the closed door
while panting heavily. The lying skunk will then present you with a bunch of
red roses through the keyhole DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!
