Cat Forum / General Topics / August 2007Cats have developed language
In the mornings when I let my cats in after keeping them out all night, each one makes the same chirping, clicking noises that sound like they are gripping me out for not letting them stay in. It sounds like language.

It sounds like language. They probably are!! How would you like to be locked out all night?!?!?! At least you could put a pet door in so they could come in if need be or if they want to!!! kraut presented the following explanation : >> In the mornings when I let my cats in after keeping them out >> all night, each one makes the same chirping, clicking noises [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > At least you could put a pet door in so they could come in if need be > or if they want to!!! It is impossible to keep my tomcat in. My mothers cat is the same he wants to go out. I reckon they are safer going out at night because there is less activity. They never go no further than the garden or the front door anyway. My tomcat tends to sleep in my neibours shed. My other cat is nearly always in at nights.

It sounds like language. I read somewhere this last year that cats have over 50 different sounds they make when they talk to one another.....Quite an extensive "language" for a species that most people don't think of as being very intelligent. I know that they can tell immediately if a fellow cat is interested in playing, or fighting, and I don't hear them make any sound at all. So, obviously they can make little sounds that are below most human beings level of hearing ability.

Dog have only 10 different ways to vocalize their barking. Cats on the other hand have 100 different vocalizations when they speak. Yes, cats do have their own language. My cat 'talks' to me all the time. I only wish I understood what she was saying to me. What's funny is when she does speak to me and I respond to her, she answers me back.

Ah, yes....The famous click language used by the cats of the Kalahari desert...... >>> In the mornings when I let my cats in after keeping them out >>> all night, each one makes the same chirping, clicking noises [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Ah, yes....The famous click language used by the cats of the Kalahari > desert...... Maybe we need to test they're DNA to see if they are related to the cats that ended up in Australia by way of India.

I've been cataloging the different vocals of my Big Mama for the last few months now. I'm no where near 50 or 100 though, more like about 25. > My cat 'talks' to me all the time.

What I've noticed is 3 distinct catagories; statements questions exclamations You can begin to understand them if you put them in these catagories first. Then it helps if you notice when they use the same vocals dependent on what they're doing.

They are saying; "I see you, I know your there, I have my eye on you, and I'm gonna get you"... or there-abouts. Yeah, they're kinda pissed at you. >> Here is an interesting fact you should know.

Obviously, "Big Mama" is educationally disadvantaged.....You need to enroll her in a remedial Catese class ASAP. Or, purchase her a "Hooked on Phonics" kit........ > B.O.C. wrote: > > In the mornings when I let my cats in after keeping them out > all night, each one makes the same chirping, clicking noises > that sound like they are gripping me out for not letting them > stay in. It sounds like language. < Big Mama has used those before also...usually when fixated on a moth or other thing just out of her reach though. It's a fairly common vocal. I usually refer to that as barking, but it's not accurate as a discription. B.O.C submitted this idea : > In the mornings when I let my cats in after keeping them out > all night, each one makes the same chirping, clicking noises [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > B.O.C. > ¿ Yes mine does exactly the same thing. It is as if she is telling me off for not letting her in sooner. But she kept on to go out in the first place and I warned her. I get the drift of her rebuke but I fear she did not understand my warning that the door was getting locked for the night. My tomcat does a similar sort of thing when he wants his own way. He has no patience. I am glad you posted that. SignatureCount Baldoni |
