this morning it rained slightly again, which was fine with me. with my bum knee and ungainly limp there was no question of me going out, so i took my time getting up.
i was on the verge of slipping back into dreamland when i heard this raucous caterwauling — which sounded like a plaintive whine from a maudlin drunk who hasn’t gone home for days.
‘cats!‘ i thought with a grin. it went on and on, like an endless concert of avenging banshees that you couldn’t escape from. finally, just for the heck of it, i joined the unearthly chorus.
my sudden (and unsolicted) participation obviously startled the performers because they stopped yowling for a bit, before launching into another aria. after 5 minutes, the early morning serenade began to acquire a more ominous tone. clearly there was was more growling and snarling this time, like a periodic clashing of cymbals.
curious, i leaned out of my window to investigate. there on the rooftop, a couple (although it sounded like there were 6 of them at least) of mean-looking, battle-scarred tomcats were getting psyched up for a knockdown, no-holds-barred brawl. in a flash, i reached for my celphone and began snapping away.
disgruntled at this untimely interruption, both feline combatants turned to glower at me balefully. (if feline looks could kill, i’d probably be lying dead at that moment weeheheh.) then, they turned to snarl at each other again, but except for a malevolent glare it was clear that the warbling warriors had lost their appetite for mayhem. then with a hiss both gladiators stalked off from the scene
in their eyes i must have been the ultimate party pooper. not only did i spoil their early morning concert, i had to come in and break up their fight, too. *LOL*
meowww!
Aw, you broke up a potentially magnificent match! 
Those cats looked like some gangster bosses meeting up for a square-off. LOL (”Meow, meet me at the roof, you punk!”) –> There goes my imagination again, sorry.
Haha. And again, seeing cats has this certain effect on me… my runaway pet Ryouki keeps on popping inside my head. Oh well, better stop this now.
Posted by alia at December 9, 2007, 4:03 pmhey, ‘you ok venk_man? you sound gung-ho today 
. must be all that liquor you imbibed during the ced party. update mo na yung blog mo heheh. kwento mo kung anong nangyari dun sa party nyo. with pictures ha
i was wondering how a cat person like you would react to this alia . normally i just leave the cats alone to settle their own business. that day, however, i had the time to meddle in someone else’s affairs so…
sorry onyxx, i have no stories to tell ‘coz i was not able to make it to the party; i was so busy with work that i was not persuaded to join them (see how much of a workaholic i am?). zarine is the person you should ask, coz from what i’ve heard, she enticed quite a number of audience. shhh. let’s keep this only between us.
before my reputation gets “tarnished” (*grins*), onyxx, it was nothing. Just one of those “You’d never think I’d do that, bahh!” moments that I dish out once in a while, ha ha!
Posted by zarine at December 10, 2007, 10:13 pmhmm… now this is getting interesting
why, what did you did you do zarine? did you:
(a) dance on table tops
(b) perform magic tricks
(c) start a brawl?
give us the lowdown please
and why are you hell-bent on working so hard these days venk_man? what are you saving for? another car? maybe a helicopter this time?
Ha ha! Good choices, you gave me an idea for next time! Let’s do this on SMS, he he
Posted by zarine at December 12, 2007, 12:28 pmI enjoyed reading all the comments here. I’m glad you are all having fun…
That’s the spirit of Chirstmas Onyxx, Ven, Zarine, Alia…. Cheers!
Onyxx, leave the cats alone next time or why don’t you save them? Perhaps, a new home?!
Posted by alvin at December 13, 2007, 11:19 amwhy, what did you did you do zarine? did you:
(a) dance on table tops
(b) perform magic tricks
(c) start a brawl?
(ven raises his right hand with eagerness to answer the question, but onyxx’s attention is focused on zarine. zarine is quiet, contemplating on whether she’ll answer the question or not. “If only onyxx were there in the party,” ven says to himself, “she’d be surprised on how ‘bold’ zarine was.”)
Hehehehe ;D
