unimaginable risks that any sensible cat would avoid, including allowing their kittens to make loud noises at any time of day. The attraction of predators is inevitable in such a situation;

the crying alone would wake the entire neighbourhood, regardless of the occupants’ individual sleep patterns. It is therefore incumbent upon the gentleman cat to train the human kittens in

proper behaviour.
