What Happens at Night III

Woke up quite a few times in the middle of the night
perhaps due to caffeine from drinking green tea last night

Then each time I woke up
I checked the window for Fat Cat

(Fat Cat a.k.a 肥猫 is the name we have
for this very obnoxious stray cat downstairs.
I just have some grudges with her.
She's not that fat anymore,
but somehow the name stuck)

Anyway,
recently she and her same-colour pal
decided to come up to visit (twice),
and even howled at our door
making noise in the middle of the night

According to what is on the SPCA page,
stray cats do this sometimes
because they are unhappy why
their lives is so different from those in the house

Makes sense to me,
cos I actually observed that each time
we took in a cat,
she would appear outside our door

We would always wonder
how on earth she climbed all the way up

Anyway,
digressions aside,
the first time they came
I hit the window to scare them again.

But I think the following night
they were still around

So now we have a spray bottle placed near the window,
so that if they come again,
I will get up from my bed and
spray them with water

Hopefully this will deter them from coming up
for the next few months

It sounds cruel of us,
but seriously we have to do this.

Actually I went around Pets' Lovers Centre
and the DIY store to look for those powder
to put on the corridor
to deter cats from coming

But I didn't see it on the shelf,
and I didn't really dare to ask the counter staff,
because I thought asking
"Do you sell those powder which get rids of cats?"
makes me sound like some sort of a mean cat hater.

Shall see if the water spray method works first.
