I knew the Siamese, as a breed could be vocal and distinct. I was totally prepared. When things are normal I get a lot of joy from little Versace. However, last night things weren’t normal. She clearly was not herself.

She started acting a bit off in the afternoon, a bit moody, a bit nervous and distracted even. As we neared bedtime she seemed a bit clingy, and still distracted. Not even interested in her “bedtime toy”. (Yes, “bedtime toy”. It’s totally not weird if you have had a kitten. 20 minutes before bed she gets to play with a toy that only comes out at that time to burn off that last bit of energy so she’ll sleep through the night.) Anyhoo, so no-go with playtime. So I shut out the light and we attempt to sleep. Versace placed her self on my chest, which is totally not where she normally sleeps. She purred and was still for about 20 minutes. I know this because she purrs really loudly. Then she was up and about the room crying, then down the hall, then down stairs. Crying. All night. Of course on the night before Richard and I were due back to work.

Now I know you have all heard about a Siamese cat’s cry. It is often compared to a crying infant. Only louder. And, as Randy Jackson would say, “pitchy”. So I got no sleep, and I am sure Richard only got about an hour or 2 during those brief times I was able to get her calm. When morning came I got on the net. (Sounds exciting when you say it like that! I also leapt into action!) I researched her symptoms and came up with a lot of sources regarding “cats in heat”. Erm. I thought she was a bit young for that, but apparently Siamese will go into “heat” as early as 5 months. Sometimes as early as 4! I freaked out a bit. I mean, talk about an abrupt end to Kittendom! Also, she didn’t quite have all the symptoms… but her constant cleaning of her kitty-zone had me really worried. So I called in sick so I could watch her, just in case. I also put a call in to the vet. Since I had no appointment I had to wait for a doctor to call me back between appointments. Hours later I spoke to a doctor who felt she had an infection in her urinary tract, not an early “heat”. He advised I bring her right in. I did.

200 bucks later and we have a diagnosis, a prescription, and hopefully a cat that will sleep tonight. (Thank gawd for pet insurance!!)

UPDATE: Things have escalated! Gotten louder! And it’s odd how my cat can walk in reverse with her ass poking out like that… I think we have been miss-diagnosed.  This heat thing, if that’s what it is, can go on for 2 weeks, only to start up again a week later… Ugh. I hope I am wrong.

My neighbor girls, well one of them at least… She’s totally getting fucked right now. I can hear her moaning and screaming from across the street. No, I am not mistaken. I heard it over my new iPod. Not to mention she is pretty vivid in her vocal descriptions of what’s happening to her. So unnecessarily loud actually, what with the windows open and all…

Ew.

Remember those loud sorority girls across the street? Yeah, the loud ones with the poor parking skills… The ones that stayed out all night at bars and/or clubs only to come home really wasted and loud waking the whole block? Well apparently the dress like a skank ass ho and hang out at the sidewalk sale out side the club till 4 AM thing totally worked for them. They have a whole new gig now! The plus side is that they don’t come home at 4 in the morning totally drunk and loud. I mean, it is good to look at the bright side, right?

Some damn bright side… It’s because now they never leave the house. It seems in the many weeks of late night clubbing 2 out of the three have landed themselves some mens! Ooh er! So now they stay in and drink all night and get loud with their boyfriends. This morning, after a sleepless night due to their noise Richard got up at 5 for work. While he was getting ready he noticed that the last light across the way was finally shut off as our very popular neighbor gals ‘called it a night’. Woo! They are busy!

Anyhoo, I think tonight there may be some kind of gathering. It sounds like a party, but mostly guys. Did the new BF’s have their BFFs over to meet the gals? I think there is still one without a man of her own. Maybe they are trying to pimp her out introduce her around. On a Wednesday too. Wow, it sounds like a lot of people! (Where did they all park? /parking police)

Dude, it sounds like I totally have been spying! Dirt! I haven’t, I SWEAR! It’s just that it IS summer, windows are open, and they are THAT LOUD. It’s not like I am sitting at the window with binoculars… Besides, they shut the blinds. I didn’t think they knew how. Maybe there is some drug use happening too. How glam of them!

So I go outside to look at the sky. It was 2 AM after all. Just the right time, right? So I am looking blankly at the sky when the neighbors in the next house over drive up. As they are unloading themselves I can tell they are really drunk. Like really drunk, even though no english is spoken. The two guys are all dressed up, and there was a girl that I had not seen before. She was dressed in a very tight black mini-dress. When I say mini I mean mini. Now I ain’t one for spying, so as loud as they were I tried to focus on my night sky. I got my own issues yo.

After a few minutes they got louder and I just couldn’t ignore them. The gal had apparently gone out back. One of the guys had followed. They were arguing in some english and some other language combo. I got the impression that he thought she was gonna be fun, and she wasn’t feeling so fun. Anyhoo. It got quiet after that. Since I wasn’t seeing so much as a spark in the sky, let alone a meteor, I went into the house. I went back up to the den and sat at the computer. It was a few minutes later that I heard the screams through the open window behind me. At least I thought they were screams. They were coming from the same house. The next one over. But I wasn’t sure what I was actually hearing. All of a sudden the music started. It was so loud as to be all distorted by the speakers. I went upstairs to look out a window with a better view of that house. The blinds were drawn, but there were camera flashes. Weird.

It has quieted down now, but there is still a lot of banging and loud voices. Are they just kinky or is someone being injured? I just can’t tell. It’s not even loud enough to make a noise complaint at this point. Maybe it is my imagination. It has been a really bad night for me. Not to mention my sore foot…

Haha, now the sorority gals are home. This ought to be a fun night!
