Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2004Shadow's Song
If I Only Had ... ... a Meow (sung to the tune of "If I only had a Brain", Wizard of Oz) I could walk across the room Not feeling all this doom Feelin' very proud I wouldn't be a'runnin' Bonnie wouldn't seem so cunnin' If I only had a meow. I'd stand up to ev'ry kitty I'd be all hissy-spitty In anger or in wow With the meows I'd be voicin' I would be rejoicin' If I only had a meow. Oh, I could tell you why Shamrock makes me cry, I could meow of things I never meowed before And then I'd sit and meow some more. I would not be just a nuffin' My voice all full of snuffin' My nose all feeling ow. I would dance and be merry Life would be a ding-a-berry If I only had a meow.

Shadow cat, my little Sammy Kitten (who isn't so little any more) would like to ask permission to use your song, too. He has no meow. All he can manage is some soft, short squeaks.

But now that he is settled in as part of the family, all we hear are the squeaks. Even when he gets really excited about something, all we hear is "squeak-squeak-squeaksqueak".

She would come in from outdoors and run through the house going "yik-yik-yik" until she found me. Now she has a meow and seldom "yiks" I miss it.

Shadow is incapable of meowing. :( When he had the feeding tube incident almost two years ago, the vet mutilated his throat trying to pull the tube out through his throat. It was supposed to be able to be pulled through the stomach wall and the flange on the inside should have just collapsed while it was pulled, but that didn't happen. As a result of her many attempts, his throat is all scar tissue. I feel bad for him with Bonnie because he tries to scream at her to leave him alone but nothing comes out and she must think it is fun to terrorize him. One time I heard him vocalize since then. He was singing along with Bette Middler to "Wind beneath my wings". lol He loves that song.

He was singing along with Bette Middler to "Wind beneath my >wings". lol He loves that song. When I was a child, we once ran over the family cat's leg. Fortunately, this was on a gravel driveway, with fairly deep gravel, so the leg was broken but not mashed flat. We took him to a vet to have his leg set, and he eventually made a full recovery, except that, for the remainder of his life, he couldn't purr loud enough to be heard. You could feel the purr vibrations if you touched him, but you could no longer hear him. Apparently he strained his vocal cords when he screamed as the car broke his leg. He was still able to meow at normal volume, however, so the meow must be made with a different part of the vocal apparatus than is the purr. SignatureJohn F.

They are amazingly adaptable, though, aren't they? I think you're right about being a different mechanism because Shadow purrs so loud he can be heard by people I'm on the phone with if he's sitting next to me. SignatureCheryl > I think you're right about being a different mechanism because > Shadow purrs so loud he can be heard by people I'm on the phone > with if he's sitting next to me. Awwww! If Roxy comes near me purring while I'm on the phone, I sometimes try to get her to exhale directly into the mouthpiece so the other person can hear it. She isn't loud at a distance, but when the purr is amplified by the phone, it's very audible. The other person always says she sounds like a horse doing that bronx cheer thing. :) Joyce >>>Shadow cat, my little Sammy Kitten (who isn't so little any more) would >>>like to ask permission to use your song, too.

All he can [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > >Dan I hear you ;-) If I hadn't heard Rocky yelling when I first popped him in the box to haul off to TED for his snip-job, and then again heard him howl as the poor techs tried to force him BACK inside for the trip home afterwards, I'd say produces only the softest squeaks and meows. I imagine some of the yowls I heard back before he was neutered were also him, but I never actually saw him do it LOL SignatureSteve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky stouchst@JUNKsirinet.net [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html That's great!
