It’s cool if you want to have sex outside…

…but do you have to do it right beneath my
window?

No, my neighbors haven’t suddenly lost all
their inhibitions.

The cats,
however, are another matter.

As I
write this it’s nearly 11:30 at night, and it sounds like a full-on feline orgy
is taking place in the yard below my balcony. I’m sure these are alley cats and
not anybody’s pets, but is it too much to ask for them to find someplace else to
do the deed? I don’t expect they’ll hustle off to a love hotel or something like
that, but surely there are better places in my neighborhood for their shagging
than beside my building.

This has been
going on the last couple of nights, and I’m wondering of there’s some wild
catnip growing out there or something else that makes this yard so wonderfully
suited to stray cat mating rituals.

Hmm, now that I think of it, catnip
might be the answer to a good night’s sleep. Get a batch of it and dump it
somewhere else in the neighborhood. Pity I don’t have any annoying neighbors
(they’ll all so damned nice) to do this to as revenge for some
slight.

Then again, I don’t
think I’d even wish this on an enemy…
