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!
