Katzen Jammer at 4 o'clock



  • Katze: Cat
  • Jammer: bitchiness, loud complaints, worry, misery, pity, lament, woe, wailing
Fat Boy

I'm not especially fond of cats.  'Nearly' hate them.
  Probably because of a childhood experience. 
My neighbors have a cat colony.
  Most of those cats know to leave when I'm around. 

Shortly after 4 am I heard excruciatingly loud cat screams.
  Less than a minute of that noise,
  I had enough of and went to shoo the cats away. 
One cat in a tree, fat boy had chased her there.
  A tiny cat on the ground, eyes not yet open.
  I was amazed that such a tiny thing could create so much noise. 
Once I had the tiny cat in my hand it quieted and went to sleep.
  Slept in my lap until I took it to my neighbor at 7 am, hence it obviously came from. 
My neighbor laughingly denied ownership,
  but took it, still laughing, when I pointed to his cats with similar markings.
  Think his dilemma is that he can't afford all the spying and neutering. 
Even though I dislike cats, since my neighbor has so many,
  I've not had to clean out a rats nest in my attic.
