cat meowing. Every morning, but she's on a schedule to go outside about when I wake up (5:30 or so). I tolerate her because she's got some good qualities:
1) she won't stay in the house no matter what, so why bother fighting it
2) she kills everything that moves in the yard, which means we can finally grow strawberries in the summer again and actually get some of them
3) for reasons I don't understand, she refuses to use the litter box and only leaves her deposits outside and in the neighbors' yards, and the neighbors love her
She has but one really odd habit - she wanders over into the neighbors yard here in the evening if she's outside, and the deer wander by at the same time most days and lick her like they're licking a mineral block, and she allows them to.
Better than a burning deck, though the burning deck video was great.
