Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / May 2006i found my cat mimicking the bird outside today !!! never heard of this
my cat loves to bird watch. today she was sitting on the window sil and all of a sudden i hear this bird chirping and then i look over to my cat and i see her mouth opening and closing and i thought she was choking or something weird noises were coming out of her mouth. and i began to listen. she was mimicking the bird. they were going back and forth. its like they were talking. she sounded just like the bird. ive never heard of this before. is this a way a cat calls their prey to them by mimcking ? its pretty funny. is this normal behavior? > my cat loves to bird watch. today she was sitting on the window sil and > all [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > funny. > is this normal behavior? Yep! One theory is that they are practicing the "killing bite" that they break the bird's neck with. Many call it chattering or chirping. wow, interesting. never knew they could create the exact sound. ill have to record. thank you for the info!! >> my cat loves to bird watch. today she was sitting on the window sil and >> all [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >Many call it chattering or chirping. > my cat loves to bird watch. today she was sitting on the window sil and all > of a sudden i hear this bird chirping and then i look over to my cat and i [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > is this a way a cat calls their prey to them by mimcking ? its pretty funny. > is this normal behavior? i have heard of bird imitating cats but not vice versa. this might be revolutionary. can you record this and send it to where, cornell's ornithology lab? My cats all love to do what I call their bird call. I think they do it to try to get the birds to come to them! -- Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time. > My cats all love to do what I call their bird call.

I like to talk back from the birds. :) "haha, look at the stupid cat, stuck in the house, can't get me, neener neener tweet tweet!" i wouldnt say stupid cat. i have a very smart cat who is in the house for a reason. i dont want cat who gets fleas and ticks as well as rabies etc. from rats and other animals outside. thanks you very much. if you have nothing nice to say please dont respond to my posting >> My cats all love to do what I call their bird call.

First, I was responding to Barb's comment, not to you. Second, I was repeating what I pretend the birds are saying to MY cat as she chatters through the screen at them some mornings. Third, I am a strong advocate of indoor-only puddy tats. thanks thata what i thought!. >My cats all love to do what I call their bird call.

And fourth, do you HAVE to type as though English were your second language? I still think that there is something about logging in to Cat KB that lowers the IQ. hmmm. my question was answered. thank you barb and to the others for answering and helping out!! >> thanks thata what i thought!. > >And fourth, do you HAVE to type as though English were your second language? > >I still think that there is something about logging in to >Cat KB that lowers the IQ. > hmmm. my question was answered. thank you barb and to the others for > answering and helping out!!
