WWKMD

So Vigilante and I aren't sure what this noise means. It comes from upstairs, sometimes in the middle of the night, sometimes at Seven in the Morning on a Saturday. It is directly over the bed. It is the distinct, sharp, metalic-y sound of something rolling, sometimes bouncing a few times, and then stopping, alternating between all three in random sequence and duration.

But what's hard about it is, I don't really feel like going upstairs and asking:

"Excuse me, but is your cat playing with a marble in the bathtub?"

But that is the only logical thing that makes sense to me. But I've never had an indoor cat. Does anyone know if this is a typical game that indside cats like to play? Is this similar to dogs drinking out of toilets (or ponies...a different, long story that samazing told me once).

I just don't want to sound stupid when I go up there; and that question looks kind of like a Crazy Question if...well, if it is. For what it's worth, I do know that their bathtub is right above my bed.

what would karl marx do?

i would just go ask. not specifically about the cat maybe, but just go up or leave a note inquiring about said USP (unidentifiable sound phenomenon). sounds reasonable to ask, not stupid.





oh, and

KARL MARX SAYS ::

The modern labroer, on the contrary, instead or rising with the progress of industry, sinks deeper and deeper below the conditions of existence of his own class.

(thanks, karl. thanks a lot)

psha, typical response from Karl.

Actually, I DID ask her...um, if her cat played with a marble in the bathtub, and she smiled all big and said:

Yes, SEVERAL marbles.....(big grin, smal pause).....why, can you hear it?


uuuuuuuh, lady, you obviously don't read my blog.
