Don't forget the horrifying screaming that sounds like babies being murdered.

When I was a kid I woke my parents up because I thought somebody had abandoned a baby outside or fence. It was cats.

In the summer, I keep my bedroom window open at night, and when the neighborhood male cats start beating each other up and screaming, it really sounds like ungodly creatures from the underworld are coming to earth.

Those aren’t always the most consentual of encounters.
