Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2008Growling like a mountain lion
Last night my cat caught a mouse and she was Growling like a mountain lion. She was ready to fight anyone who even looked like they might try to take away her mouse. After her feast she was a proud little kitty.

My Mother would give each a big piece of raw liver. They would crouch over their portion, eying the other cat and growl warnings while eating it. What a memory you brought back.

Occasionally they get a scrap of ham or beef when I'm making my son's sandwiches in the morning. They growl at ME - and I'M the one who gave them the meat! Two of the others grab their scraps and disappear off to the garage to eat them. The last one shifts her gaze between meat and me as if to ask "Is this smoked? Has it passed its 'use by' date?" whereupon it's stolen by one of the other cats. > Two of our cats must be ultra-stupid.

Most times my Big Mama will eat about 1 or 2 very little bites of something, then won't have anything else to do with it. It's almost as though she only wants to 'have her cake, but not eat it'. In other words; for her, the offering is more important than whether it's edible or not. > In other words; for her, the offering is more important than whether it's > edible or not. That's quite unusual. For most cats, anything tastes much better if it's stolen. > > In other words; for her, the offering is more important than whether it's > > edible or not. > > That's quite unusual.

She just thinks it's polite if I ask her if she wants some...it's only good manners. Although now that I think about it...she does occasionally steal my place in bed if I get up for any reason...

Maybe that's their way of saying "yumm!" :-) SignatureStan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com/ "If there's one thing I know, it's men.

But the strange thing he does is to open and close his mouth in a snapping motion. ! SignatureCount Baldoni >G Hardy explained : >> "mlbriggs" wrote...

When my father was young, (before 1900) he used to go to the butcher's and get free liver for the cats and dogs, and he would eat it himself. (he loved liver, and almost no one ate it in those days) The butcher shops would give it away for free. I never asked him how he found out it tasted good the first time.......:^) > > Last night my cat caught a mouse and she was Growling like a mountain > > lion.

MLB Just about any cat I've ever had would growl if you'd dare touch it while it was eating. Some of them would growl just a little...but one in particular was amazing... she was pretty close to being a miniature lion!!!! Not one to fool with. Now days, when I see a cat feeding...I just plain do not distrub !!!! Hi I am new to this site, your cat reminds me a bit of my cat when he catches a mouse or squirrel. When I was younger I had a cat who caught a mouse and put it on our porch, my dad told me he was bringing us food lol. But I have found that many of the cats Ive had get a lil aggressive when you give them meat I think as to protect it like.
