This latter ploy invariably works and is an effective combination of sound and destruction.Īnd finally on domestic cats (unless someone has a comment to make), the cat's purr. ![]() If a vocal sound doesn't get the right reaction from their human companion, cats can make sounds or noise deliberately by disturbing objects or, for example, scratching something important. I can sense that very strongly and it gets me up to provide what she is demanding. If I ignore that she'll ask again more firmly and finally she will positively sound irritated. My girl will ask politely at first with a standard meow. The simple meow can take on a whole range of levels of demand.

This is her practice session in preparation for when she catches the bird (or so she thinks) and sinks her teeth into the spine of the bird, in exactly the precise spot to severe the spinal cord and kill the prey. We usually see and hear this when the cat is at a window looking at birds, getting a little excited. Timmy's meow is stronger and more demanding than my cat's meow for example.Ī special kind of cat sound is chattering. Individual cats will make their own cat sounds that differ substantially. I've mentioned, above, some cat breed traits as I have heard them or know them. It was an extremely charming thing to see and just as effective as a meow with sound. Indeed sometimes it was absolutely silent nothing coming out of the mouth. Both Helmi's British Shorthair cats had the same super quiet meow, almost silent. But Zak's meow is completely different to the meow of the British Shorthair cat. The meow I heard from Zak was a kind of plaintiff one, rather quiet and very pleasant. Maybe they are getting to like each other. The stray boy used to hiss back as a defensive measure. I think they do this when they are excited or showing interest in something.

There is apparently a cat sound that the Bengal makes that is perhaps peculiar to the Bengal or wildcat hybrids, I am not sure. They can make there own special cat sound too. Then we have the Bengal cats my neighbor lives with one, Daniel. The Maine Coon cats are called Quin (black smoke) and Zak (blue bicolor) and the British Shorthair cats, Sky (blue) and Nox (black). The Maine Coons have very different voices and make different cat sounds to British Shorthairs. I have also met Ken and Helmi Flick's cats, two British Shorthair cats and two Maine Coon cats (see Ken and Helmi Flick's Cats). I've lived with a moggie cat for a long time and provide for a couple of moggie strays who come in to say hello and stay and eat a while.
