Washing out cats!

I was reading the first chapter of the 1818 version of Frankenstein this afternoon and somehow, all the talk about braving the elements and seeking glory at the North Pole made me remarkably sleepy, and hence, the afternoon nap.

Then, I had this weird dream where I was back at home, at this high-rise apartment block that was swarmed with stray cats, and the authorities were washing them out by creating a flood. In the dream, I was positioned over the block, and had a bird's eye view of this culling process. As the flood waters rose, I saw cats of various sizes and colours being washed out from all the holes (!) and gaps they were hiding in, and with them, came all kinds of vermin and pestilence, like roaches, flies, lizards etc. that were washed out in this gigantic flood. A Dickensian moment eh?

Now, would anyone like to interpret this dream, or to psychoanalyze me? :)

The strange thing was I was viewing this scene through the lens of a television news reporter, so it seemed really official and had the stamp of authority.

Rather drastic measures to rid yourself of stray cats. Made me think of people who would do anything to solve a problem, as the ends justify the means. Hmmm.

On another note, we had a good floor gathering yesterday. 100% attendance!! (Just 2 exclamation marks, considering that we are a population of 9)

We all got to know one another better, and I was pleased to know that a couple of the people here have a deadpan sense of humour!
