Sounds for a Cat-man

Today is a day off for me. I think it’s called Heritage Day here in Alberta. It’s an unpaid holiday (which is rather silly, since I could call in sick any day and have that as an unpaid holiday. Anyway…) The point is that I was able to have a nap. My apartment building is, however, undergoing extensive renovations; the unit chosen for today’s renovations sounds as if it is the one immediately above mine. There was pounding and hammering, sawing and drilling, scraping and various unidentified noises that simulate a great ship breaking apart after being struck by multiple torpedoes. I fell asleep during all that and slept for about seventy minutes.

What woke me up was somecat throwing up a hairball in the kitchen.

  5. For a cat person, that's a more attention-engaging sound than a bomb going off next door.
