I am sooo tired [View all]

The six tomcats I got out of the hoarder house are now all neutered, loose in the house, and adjusting nicely. They’re not feral exactly, more feralish—they can be touched, but on their terms. But now that they’re comfortable and settling in, a couple of them have resumed an old tomcat habit—they serenade. If you’ve ever had a tomcat serenading on your back patio, you know how loud and persistent their yowls are. A couple of my guys are now into walking around the house yowling loudly at night. They don’t want anything in particular, they just seem to have a serenading routine. So I’m up too early contemplating my future of being woken up by serenading every night by cats who will never be adoptable because they serenade all night.
