A Thump in the Night

As many of my readers know...I suffer from insomnia and have for almost two decades now.  I stay up late not because I want to but because I can not go to sleep.  This does not mean that I sleep late in the mornings either.  If I go to bed at 6:00 a.m. and my mother decides to get up at 6:30 a.m. well that is the time I get up...after all I can't sleep!

Last night around 3:00 a.m. I heard a big thump on the kitchen door..thought how odd...then I heard it again! I have my computer set up in the dining room which is right next to the kitchen.  Went to my bedroom to grab my gun and returned to the kitchen where I yelled some...uhmmm...let's say choice words...and threaten to shoot.

Turned on the outside lights and shined my flashlight out the kitchen window but could not see a thing.  With my gun in tow I went outside but all I heard was a cat meowing...and meowing loudly.  There is a small opening under the kitchen door and perhaps the cat tried to fit under there...and that is where the thump noise came from?

First thing this morning I was out playing Sherlock Holmes but did not find anything out of place or unusual...however I kept on hearing a cat meowing, like a baby cat but never could find it.  This evening I was on the south part of the property feeding Walter when I heard the meowing again.  Maybe a cat is about to have her kitties?

It was a hot day, even at 7:16 p.m. the temperature was 90 degrees.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
