It’s cold, but spring is approaching

It's still cold, but spring is approaching. How do I know? I saw two of the neighbors' cats having sex in my backyard yesterday. Then last night I heard cats fighting and yowling. In the desert, that is a sure sign that spring and warmer weather is on its way.

I'm not sure which two cats were fighting. As far as I know, there are only two male toms in this neighborhood. Both of the toms are black, one is a bob tail cat and the other has a regular long tail. Precisely how many unnuttered female cats I'm not sure, but I know that there is at least one and probably more.

People who don't want there cats to have sex in their neighbors' yards should have their cats appropriately altered. Not that I'm going to call the pound for something like that. If kids (which I don't have) see cats getting it on then it's time for their parents to have the talk with them.
