Were you able to explain the situation to them?

Tell the the truth and hope they believe you.... Just kidding you're fucked

Dunno how it is in the US, but here the police showing up for a noise complaint is relatively harmless unless they have to come back because you didn't turn the volume down after they told you to. I'm assuming that since OP was trying to go to sleep, they turned up to a completely silent house, so OP should be fine.

Sounds like a cat-astrophy

OP can't be feline happy about it.

People...must we do this *every* time there's an FML with a cat in it?

Unmeowtedly.

Yes.

Yes, #12. Yes we do.

i dont think my cat did it is going to work

Unfortunately, "My cat did it" doesn't sound like a good excuse.

Tell your cat to quit pussyfooting around, damn it!

Nice! Normally, just Sting shows up in response to noise complaints made against me, so it's cool that you get the whole band.

I see what you did there.

high five!

I guess he is watching you witch every step you take?

It's really sad that a large portion of this community doesn't understand this reference :/

Lucky you, I just get a tribute act.

Sting showed up at my house once. I had to tell him don't stand so close to me, but he said he was just so lonely since Roxanne left.

Blame it on the pussy.

Pussy whipped!

Looks like your cat throws a hell of a party when you're asleep.

If he does this while you're in the house, just imagine the things he does when you're at work!
