Let me explain what happened. It's 3 am, I'm sitting here at my computer lurking on NG and reading xkcd, when all of a sudden I hear crying within close proximity to my house. It sounded human. My first reaction was, "Oh shit, is there a baby outside my house?" So I run to the window, and look around, using my ears to locate the screaming. No baby. Instead, 2 cats run up the hill and into the thicket of poison ivy at the top of the hill. They were both chubby, but they were quick.
Then more wailing. This time, louder and more violent. More wailing, but this low, and droning, like a pain caused it. Then nothing.
I'm assuming the fight was won. I feel a bit sad, being an animal lover, but there's nothing I can do. It was strange, because I've only seen one stray cat on my block. It's possible my neighbors cat got loose, but I doubt it.
It's 3 am, so I'm not going out there and getting rabies because of a dead cat, and it's too late to call the humane society to pick up a dead cat. I'll check it out tomorrow. I'll keep you posted.
