Cat Noises

They make that same throat noise any time they see a bird (prey sounds). If they had made cat sounds, they would scare them off, right?

I have a female, and she constantly does this when talking to her!!...I swear I should bring her on the Dave Letterman show!!!....She answers me with every question or comment I make to her!!

That's always fun. Out of curiosity, is she any part Siamese? They are typically very vocal.

Your cat is responding to you with happy noises

That's great..... your cat cares about you! Enjoy

We have a new BOMBAY cat (we call it spooky and Tid Tat) It cjrrups and vocalizes almost every snetence that my wife and I speak. The cat wants to share in our conversations and I cant figure out why.
The Maine Coon chirrups with her quick movements. When I toss her a little cloth mouse she will chirp her head off while trying to disembowel the toy.

Being bi-lingual, cats talk pigeon to pigeons. Why would that be surprising?

When watching birds my cat would sound the "chitter of death" accompanied by tail-tip tic.
On occasion cat cries sound like human infants' cries, newborn infants. I was watching a TV program about babies. A baby began to cry, and my cat went racing up to the set. She was very agitated and was crying back at the screen.If I hadn't been in the room, I'd have thought two babies were crying.

Clever ploy. Imitate your prey.

Why WOULDN'T a cat who cares for you want to interact?

My cats have mostly had long chats with me...

Viola can be driven to ecstatic effusions of love when I talk to her...especially if I use certain tones of voice or phrases. She coos and pirrups and throws herself squirming on the floor...or runs over to lick my face.
