Persia, like any self-respecting cat, loves to snooze in the closet. She
went in and climbed up on the box to curl up on the comforter. But then I
heard her say "ma-ma!" which she normally reserves for "feed me!" I opened
the door wider to have a look. Somehow she managed to get her tag caught in
one of the plastic dry-cleaning bags covering one of my dresses. She was
just sort of sitting there on top of the box, not realizing a simple yank
would have torn the flimsy bag. Now she's got me concerned about those bags
so I'm reorganizing the closet so the covered stuff isn't hanging near the
box she jumps on when she's going to have a snooze.

TuTu has always loved closets too. However, she would tear open the
sides of my garment bags and crawl inside for a snooze. She totally
ruined about six or seven bags doing this. Plastic bags can be dangerous.
I have two cloth bags and am looking for more. It's great that she
would call her MaMa. Best wishes. MLB

How lucky that Persia was able to call you. I hope KFC never gets into this
sort of trouble as she cannot meow to alert me. She opens her mouth but no
noise comes out.
She can make plenty of wowling if she is fighting, though, so she can do
noises. I can't understand why she doesn't meow so she can be heard but she
never has.

I used to worry about Roxy for the same reason - she lost her voice as
a kitten and now just squeaks when she tries to meow. It's very cute, but
I worried that she might get stuck somewhere and be unable to call for help.

Then I had to take her to the vet one time, and she howled all the way
there! No problem making sound when she was upset!

So I came to the conclusion that when she tried to vocalize in a certain
range, such as the normal range she'd use when just giving a friendly
meow, very little would come out. But if she needed to complain, she could
make that sound very well. So I no longer worry that she might get trapped
in a closet or in some tiny space she can't get out of, and be unable to
produce a sound alerting me to her situation.

Since KFC *can* make sounds when angry, she would probably be able to
make a sound when afraid or upset, too.

Why make the effort to meow when she can just as easily read minds?
TuTu didn't meow either when I first had her. One day she was on the
enclosed patio when a BIG windstorm came up -- she not only meowed, she
literally screamed for help and she now meows, but still uses thought
waves. MLB

Persia is *SUCH* a sweetie. I hope you know how lucky you are she picked
you as her slave, Jill!
