'Contemplating neko-cide' writes, "There is a cat next door that in meowing all night causes me to lose sleep, which then hurts my performance at work."

The cat is not in CN's building, but the one next-door, with a balcony alongside his bedroom window. "You know how tight space is in Tokyo," he adds.

The neighbor lets the cat out onto the balcony, but it meows to get in throughout the night. CN even dreams of it meowing — dreams that wake him up whether the cat is there or not.
