Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2007A conversation with Vino
Last night I got up at 3 am to pee. When I got back in bed, Vino cuddled up next to my face, leaning against the pillow. As I was drifting off to sleep again, I involuntarily made this high pitched sigh in the back of my throat. A few seconds later, Vino made the exact same sound! Aww, how cute, I thought. I made the sound again. A few seconds later, Vino also made the sound. I began to chuckle and made the sound again. And again, Vino copied me. 3 times back and forth, I think that's the longest conversation we've ever had ;-)  SignatureBritta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

I constantly talk back and forth to the furballs. I can mimic each of their cries and noises. Drives them a little bonkers sometimes >>Last night I got up at 3 am to pee.

LOL, that's funny! I have conversations with Smudge, but I don't copy her. Usually our conversations goes like this: "Smudgie!" "Meow!" "SMUDGIE!!" "Meow!" "Smoodgy-woodgy-woodgy!" <pause> "Meow..." (quietly) "Smudge!" "Meow!" Sometimes Licky and I have little exchanges, too. With him, it's more like: "Licky!" "Meow <whine>" "Licky-boy!" "Meeeeeeeeeee-ow <whine>" His meow is very thin and forlorn and whiny sounding. I always feel like no matter what I do, he's lacking in something essential. He'll go far with that craftly little meow. But not Roxy, she's a quiet kitty. Except for times like now, when she's asleep and snoring loudly. Joyce > Last night I got up at 3 am to pee.

Sometimes she'll make a funny little murrph or meow and I do my best to imitate it. This often instigates a brief exchange of "words" between the two of us. I have no idea what we're saying to each other. Jill >> Last night I got up at 3 am to pee. When I got back in bed, Vino >> cuddled up next to my face, leaning against the pillow.

As I was [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > Ping could carry on conversations for hours (with our without me) - but > then again, he's Siamese :) I once had a very brief but pointed conversation with Pyewacket (RB). He was sitting on the shelf above a desk. I was talking to him, in my special "talking to cats voice", when I noticed something on the floor under the desk. I went on talking, as I bent over to pick up the object. Apparently Pye thought I was talking to another cat, because he said a very loud, "Row!" in what sounded like an angry voice. Since I wasn't being unfaithful, I was a bit annoyed, so I responded, "Row!" in as close as I could come to the same tone of voice. His eyes got really big, and he meekly leaned forward for a skritch. I guess he didn't know Meowmy knew such language. ;-) Joy >>>> Last night I got up at 3 am to pee.

Stinky has always started conversations with me, with an emphatic "MEOW!" or "RRrrrrrow!" I have always been convinced that when he got here, he simply observed how much talking went on, and determined that he had better get a word or two in. Dante got our attention in the shelter by squeaking insistently at us. I thought it was because he was in a cage. When I brought him home, I discovered-- nope. He just does it all the time. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Make Levees, Not War >>> Last night I got up at 3 am to pee.

I think so too, but they *are* nice names, especially Sunningdale. Someone sent me a video clip many years ago with the title "Catherding" and I read it as "Cath-er-ding", when it's actually meant to be "Cat herding" and it's a couple of cowboys (well, I guess they would be "catboys") on horseback, and somehow herding hundreds of cats. It's obviously faked, but it was very funny. Anyway, I decided that Ketzl's middle name should be Catherding. Sounds classy.) SignatureJoey DoWop Dee Remember: It is To Laugh >>>>> Kitty snores!

I swear the version i got didn't have the underscore between cat and herding, hence my initial confusion. Fun to see it again! SignatureJoey DoWop Dee Remember: It is To Laugh >> Kitty snores!

He does a lot of just "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! rrrrrrrrrr!" When he "meows," though, he generally goes "Wow!" or "Now!" or "Yow!" ;) Dante, of course, says "NYOW-WOW!" It sounds a little nasal, a little gurgly, and a little echo-y.
