Invasion

Howling wind and a few stray cats (quasi adopted by my neighbor across the small patch of concrete and grass separating our buildings ) yelping. Must they always sound like dyspeptic babies?? Especially in the middle of the night or early morning should I say when one hopes to be one with their thoughts or homeworks in this case savoring a frame in time when neighbors are mostly non existent and I only should have to deal with interruptions from my dog who snores like my grandmum used to.
