The worst thing I can think of is lying in bed (with my windows open, of course) in my home village and hearing the rustle of overgrown weeds/grasses, the growling of a cat and the slither of a snake, then a scuffle and commotion and finally a yelp and miaow which comes to a quick stifling end. Next day, the pretty grey slinky cat is nowhere to be found ...
