I just searched through most of this board in vain for a similar post & can't believe there isn't one yet. Has anyone else living around the block between Brunswick & Monmouth at 7th & 8th Streets heard the most insane animal sounds in the middle of the night and, more importantly, does anyone know what it is? Most recently, they just occurred around 3am Wednesday. This is about the 3rd time in a week or two.

It sounds like two animals fighting in a way I've never heard. There are quick, wild 'screams' interspersed throughout a constant, high pitched squeaking/squealing/suffering sound. This goes on for about 10 minutes, finally petering out to silence. Even still, that description doesn't do the real thing any justice. It's intense.

I've heard it suggested by a friend that it's cats fighting, having sex, or both. There's no way. In all of my years of having cats around, both domestic & stray, I've never heard anything even remotely similar. There's also never a single cat growl, screech, meow or otherwise.

I hear other neighbors rustling in their windows & yards during this. Tonight someone turned on the light in their yard very close to where the sound was (closer to Monmouth, about halfway through the block). Someone must know what the hell this is..
