[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Put her outside? I'm increasingly thinking pets aren't worth the trouble.[/quote]
One cold November morning, I was awakened at 4 am by the sound of someone yelling outside. It sounded like a toddler crying out, “Mahhh-ma! Mahhh-ma!” I really doubted there was a toddler wandering around outside by themselves, but I couldn’t forgive myself if that’s what was going on and I just went back to sleep. There’s a lake behind my house and I’ve always been a little paranoid about its being a drowning risk. I got out of bed, put on my winter coat over my pajamas, slid into my shoes and started walking around in the pitch black darkness and eerie silence, except for this little voice. I brought a flashlight with me and successfully tracked down the culprit: my next door neighbors’ cat was sitting in their screened-in porch…crying? It wasn’t exactly meowing. It sounded miserable and I wondered if it was cold and couldn’t get back inside the warm house. Based on the fact that it woke me up next door, I seriously doubt the neighbors were getting much of a break from their cat’s vocalization anyway.

Please don’t put a loud cat outside and make it someone else’s problem too.[/quote]
