This is Lilith Kitten Mahoney, Nurse Cat & Diabeticat, reporting for The Feline Contingent.
I was in the middle of one of my many morning naps on The Bed with my human when I heard a noise.  RATTATATTATATTA!  I mewed at the human.  "It's outside.  Go back to sleep," she said.
I purred and cheek-rubbed her toes.  But as soon as I put my head down, I heard The Noise again!  RATTATATTATATTA!  SWISHSWISH!  I got a little startled and landed on my back.  I wasn't able to flip myself over because I am an old lady cat and a bit floofy.  My human had to do it.  She also gave me a belly-rub.
Then I went on patrol.  I sniffed at all the walls where I thought The Noise was coming in from.  It went away for a while.  When it came back, I gave it a good chattering to...
The Noise:  RATTATATTATATTA!  SWISHSWISH!
Me:  ChatterChatterChatter!
The Noise:  RATTATATTATATTA!  SWISHSWISH!
Me:  ChatterChatterChatter!
Even my cousin-cat, Sheriff Rosco P. Catrane, helped out!  He didn't chatter at The Noise when he found it on High Patrol.  He yowled at it...
The Noise:  RATTATATTATATTA!  SWISHSWISH!
Rosco:  YOWL!  YOWL!  YOWL!  YOWL!
The Noise:  RATTATATTATATTA!  SWISHSWISH!  BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
Rosco:  YOWL!  YOWL!  YOWL!  YOWL!  YOWL!
My other cousin-cat, Miss Tina Marie, decided to get involved.  But she's part Maine Coon, so she has a big floofy body with a little teeny meow.  She thought she could defend Sheriff Rosco and me against The Noise with her bottle brush tail  HA!  My tortietude trumps her bottle brush tail every time!
