Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2004Yeah!
Spotted in the garden for the first time - a pair of long-tailed tits :-) I'm ever so pleased as they are new visitors! I wonder, as it's a pair, if they are going to nest nearby? If they do, I hope it's high up out of feline grasp. See http://www.birdfood.co.uk/fact_files/tit_longt.htm for what one looks like - just to keep the Daves in check ;-) Cheers, helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove dependency on fame & fortune h*$el*$$e**nd***$o$ts***i*$*$m**m$$o*n**s@$*$a$$o**l.c**$*$om$$ > Spotted in the garden for the first time - a pair of long-tailed tits :-) I'm > ever so pleased as they are new visitors!

They must have been :-) The next day the kitchen fitter arrived to do some more work in the kitchen (no, I still don't have a complete new kitchen... long story... not the fitter's fault) and he said, "Guess what I saw in my garden today- a pair of long-tailed tits!) So it must be a Norfolk thing - long-tailed tits on the up ;-) Cheers, helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove dependency on fame & fortune h*$el*$$e**nd***$o$ts***i*$*$m**m$$o*n**s@$*$a$$o**l.c**$*$om$$ >>They must have seen your post of a couple of weeks ago saying they don't >>visit your garden. > >They must have been :-) The next day the kitchen fitter (snip) I was reading too quickly, and for a minute, I thought this said "kitten filter," then wondered what a kitten filter could be. Could it be a very fine mesh you use to keep kittens from flowing into your kitchen? ;) Could it be special software to keep kittens from viewing adult cat sites?

(Aldous Huxley) >>*Little kitten* feet? My adult cats still do this! :) > That's not a *tiny* thud, though. :P That's true, it's neither a tiny thud nor tiny feet. Licorice, who is young but not at all tiny, goes galloping into the kitchen after a thrown object, slides past it and crashes into the cabinets with a THUD of moderate volume. I love to hear him trying to get purchase on the slippery floor, claws scrabbling on the linoleum uselessly as he slides by. Joyce > >>*Little kitten* feet? My adult cats still do this! :) > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > >Joyce I know, it's so cartoony. I grew up on Warner Brothers Looney Toons, which had appropriate music for every movement the characters made, so I sometimes like to provide a "soundtrack" for Stinky as he goes around the house. Ever since Stinky was a kitten, whenever he hits the floor from a moderate height, he makes this tiny little grunt as he lands. "rrrooff!" It's adorable.

Roxy does something similar, although it's more like "uhnmrrt?" It's a single-syllable, grunt/meow/purr sound, all in one.

Stinky definitely has two different "jump-up" and "jump-down" noises. Sometimes he "wrrrrrrrrs" a bit before he makes the jump-- then goes "blrrrrrp?" when he lands. When he hits the floor jumping down, it's a little grunt-- "rrooff!" You can hear a little air being expelled.

Hey that reminds me - does anyone else's cat make a little "mrrrp" mew when they run through a doorway? Especially if the door isn't open very far? My Arthur and Katie both do it, and I've never figured out why. Helen Wheels > Hey that reminds me - does anyone else's cat make a little > "mrrrp" mew when they run through a doorway?

Nikki does mrrp a lot when she moves around the flat, but I haven't noticed her doing it specifically at doors.

My adult cats still do this! :) Pine Cone taught Honor about sliding into the kitchen furniture, about using the kitchen table as a launching point, and about treeing Tanada on the microwave by using the floor as a sliding point. Squeekers taught her about ice cube monsters. Pam S. who's kitchen gets pretty lively at times. What a beautiful little bird!
