Late Saturday night I was playing a computer game, tv off, very little light. I hear a very loud and distinctive "meow." I check the game to see if there are any cats running around in it. No. So I went to the hallway and saw that the window was open and there was indeed a cat on my back porch, meowing very loudly.
My first thought when I heard it was "omg that sounds like Gaines." Then I got ahold of my brain and thought maybe it was Gaines' old fighting buddy (The Cat Fight Club) looking for a quick brawl.
I thought about opening the door to see the cat but my security light is out and I couldn't be totally sure that there weren't thugs out there making cat noises so I'd come out and they could kill me. You can't be too careful, living alone.
