Hello, Flood!

So, I have these three cats...

One of them is about nine months old, and it's a boy. The other two are sisters and are just shy of three months (all strays). I love these guys.

I live on the third floor of my apartment and am usually gone anywhere from 10-14 hours a day for work, not getting home until about 1-2am. While most of the time they're pretty well behaved, sometimes when I get home they go nuts and start chasing each other around the apartment.

Does this both me? Not in the least. Unfortunately, my neighbors down below don't feel quite the same way and complain about the noise factor. While I definitely sympathize, I'm not really sure what I can do. I've tried separating them, taking their toys away for the night, holding them, ignoring them, changing the temperature, feeding them before bed, but nothing seems to be a guarantee.

I am getting them fixed later next month (that's when their appointment is), but in the mean time I'm in a bit of a jam. I don't want to yell at them, because they aren't really doing anything wrong. They're just being kittens!

Any thoughts, Flood?

Kill your neighbors. It's the only way.

You know what really grinds my gears? When people like you use opening parentheses and don't close them. You leave me anticipated to see when the thought ends, but apparently it never does!

You could always tell your neighbors to get over it.

This. Tell them about the appointment. At the very least they will shut up for a month, assuming that doesn't calm them down.

I've offered to meet with them, and they refused. I'm lucky that the office staff seems to like me enough that they haven't turned it into a major issue, but awhile back the word "eviction" was thrown out there if too many complaints were received.

I do understand that the night-time noises can be annoying having lived below noisy neighbors before, but aside from rehoming them (an absolute last resort), I've done everything I can to try and keep them calm. It's sporadic. I don't know what triggers it, and when it happens, I'm not sure how to stop it. Last night I spent over an hour and a half trying to figure out how to calm them down before finally putting them in their room and just hoping for the best :(

Tape a naked photo of yourself to their door.

That will make them stop complaining about the cats, at least.

  • 12.28.2012 9:12 PM PDT

Separate the cats at night?

Life will always find a new way to ruin everything you know, enjoy the moments of peace to their fullest and prepare yourself for the lemons that are heading your way and you might just make it.

frezze the cats...forever

I write poetry, I write short-stories, I listen to hip-hop (80s&90s), Reggae, Classic Rock n Roll, Heavy Metal, Jazz, Blues, and the 60s, 70s.

Piss on the cat.
