As Dante told you all this afternoon, Stinky was looking out the
window chattering at the birdies. What he didn't tell you was the
Stinkster was doing it from my lap-- I was at the computer, which is
next to a window, and his hind legs were planted on my lap, while his
forepaws were on the windowsill.
So after a bit of this, I joined in the noise.
"Wakkawakkawakkawakka!" he said, and I repeated it it after him.
Immediately, he swiveled his head and looked at me as if I had lost my
mind, or at least broke wind. ;) It was obviously an intolerable
breech of cat etiquette. But since I am just a Philistine hoomin, and
don't know any better, I tried again. And Stinky, in his usual very
kind, patient way (with me, at least ;)), put his paw right over my
mouth. Don't do that, Mommy. ;)

Cleo sometimes does this when I talk in bed.
I think being seen with your Hooman when there is Prey about, is akin to a
teenager being seen with their parents.

Great story.
Terrible breach of etiquette on your part.

LOL! He's such a sweetie. I do that to Caliban, too, as he chatters at
the Great Tit (down boys, it's a bird) that teases the cats from just
outside the enclosure. He's usually too engrossed in his birdwatching to
pay any attention to the hoomin's feeble attempts to mimic him.
