The sounds of cats mating

I never would have known it. But when they are doing it and doing it and doing it well, cats make a lot of noise! Almost every night a certain female cat, who for her own anonymity will go unnamed (also I'm not even sure if she has a name) gets it on with a male cat. And either cause she's in heat or because she's experiencing some strange mix of pain and pleasure, this cat starts crying LOUDLY.

So loudly that I woke up for some reason early on Sunday morning (I went back to sleep) at around 4:30 am. And I heard the crying. I couldn't tell if it was a person or an animal. but I decided after some hemming and hauling to call the police. The police asked me if it sounded like a cat mating. To which I replied, "I have no idea what a cat sounds like when they're mating." Well now I do. I told some neighbors about it the next day. It's a cat mating. The same one. Almost every night. We should all be so lucky.

In the mean time, some other neighbors of mine are playing some very loud club music. It's a little obnoxious. But I wouldn't be surprised if they're having a bumping and grinding dance party and the cat outside is there ready to pick up some male um...(insert obvious/corny/offensive pun having to do with cats).
