What does your cat say?

[Bossy Monkey]

The smaller, more adorable cat says "hello" pretty clearly pretty often, and also often answers the question "Are you the best kitty in the whole wide world?" with a clear "no." (Guilty conscience I guess.) The larger, more irascible cat tends to check in with "myrrh." Biblical, I guess, or maybe she's trying to suggest we bring her tuna as a great gift but can't say it so she just suggests another great gift from the past. She's pretty smart and all.

Anyway, how about yours?

[cwydro]

1. Your smaller cat says no,

because MY cat ( the odest one) IS the best kitty in the whole wide world.:hi:

One of my other cats speak that "myrrh" language too, btw.

[skygazer]

2. Well, yesterday it was, "Yaaaacccckkkkkk"

And then a giant hairball appeared on the floor. :eyes:

But sometimes he says, "Mom." :)

[barb162]

9. That's my cat!

[BarenakedLady]

3. Usually something like

"Pet me now, Bitch." or "Feed me now, Bitch." or "Get the fuck away from me, you scary Bitch."

I'm just guessing though. :shrug:

No, actually they are both very loveable when they want to be and only when they want to be. Then they become very demanding for the cuddles.

[ironflange]

24. It's funny how cats can say things like that. . .

With one mere look. Like this one:



She's sure not saying, "Oh, it's you! How delightful that you should join me here!"

[Phillycat]

4. Moe.

I can't tell if he's a fan of the Three Stooges or the hippie band. :shrug:

[deadparrot]

5. When she wants to come in from outside,

it's usually, "Jesus, why didn't you tell me it was so cold out here?"

Otherwise, it's just "Piss off. Oh, but you may feed me and clean my litter box."

[grace0418]

6. Mine says "MOM!" very clearly, usually when he wants attention. And when we

catch him doing something silly like chasing his tail or trying to steal food off the table, he stops and says "What?"

[havocmom]

7. Mine blerts

And she rolls her Ls & Rs. It is a very sweet, musical sound she makes and she can do it in a way that makes you sure she is asking a question when she wants to know what you are doing.

[MissHoneychurch]

8. MO-OM!!

Well, OK, it isn't my kitty but AirmensMom's.

[Lumily]

10. BROWN!

It always sounds like he's yelling, "BROWN!", as loud as he possibly can.

[Bossy Monkey]

12. Siamese? And welcome to DU two years late

:):hi:

[Lumily]

18. Nope, just a regular old tabby.

Thanks for the welcome. I've actually been here for over two years, I just rarely ever post. :)

[graywarrior]

11. A primitive wail from deep deep deep in his gut.

I'm becoming afraid of him. Seriously. He stalks me.

[ballabosh]

13. Mine's a comunist, apparently

because she's always talking about Mao.

[SoyCat]

20. My sister had an enormous Maine coon who always said "Mao" in a low, very droll manner. It was the

only sound he ever made!

[uppityperson]

14. "me-up?" when she wants to be picked up.

[Richard Steele]

15. It's not so much what she says, it's how she says it.

Her tone makes it clear that she is not entirely
happy about interacting with someone so obviously
inferior to her in every way.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

16. Mine sez ...

"please put me in the carrier, toss me onto the floor of the car, and drive to the vet with the radio so loud you drown out my screeching"

The cat loves that ride. (or maybe not)

[schmuls]

17. Good Ol' Mitty-Pants says "wow!" when I tell him it is time for

breakfast. He also has taught Jacques-Pierre Henri Toulouse-Latrec to say "yeah" upon seeing the food can. Lucy hardly talks English at all. But I think she would say "mom" if she could. I think I will work on that!

[Der Blaue Engel]

19. Neo warbled "Oh, noooooooo" once

after I'd tried to break up a fight by tossing a pillow at him, and apparently terrified him into human speech. He chirps and barks on occasion.

Urdie and I have long conversations that go like this:

Urd: Rrrralllllll.

Me: (with a bad accent) Rrrralllllll.

Urd: Mrrrraaaammm.

Me: Mrrrraaaammm.

Urd: Rrrreh.

Me: Rrrreh.

Urd: Rrrowllllll.

Me: Rrrowllllll.

Urd: Grrrnnnyeaaah.

Me: Grrrnnnyeaaah.

(It goes on for quite a while.)

[Arugula Latte]

21. One of them likes to start sounding off in the middle of the night: "Mow-WOW! Mow-WOW!"

My kitties make all sorts of vocalizations depending if they want food, love, or are pissed off, etc.; the variety of "meows" is amazing...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. At mealtime, one says "Mom" and the other says "Ok"

If I cry and either one is on my lap, they'll cuddle close, purring, an make this "awwwww" kind of sound...it's much more vocal than their standard purr.

[ronnykmarshall]

23. Depends on which one.

With the arrival of Geena ......



Ricco: Look at that little SLUT!



Cosmo: She better get out my way ... I'm gonna eat!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

25. The greeting: "Mreh?"

Feed me: "Woww!"
Play with me: "Brrrp!"

[kedrys]

26. Caesar (the oldest one) says our names

also "water" (when waiting by the sink for someone with thumbs to show up), "oh no!" when on the way to the vet, and "arrrr" (when making his devotions to The Big Giant Cat for exactly two minutes each and every night when we go to bed).

Evie says "kasha!" when she rolls over for you to scratch her tummy.

Imhotep said "wow!" the first time he saw TV.

Dave (aka Quark) barks instead of meowing. We're still debating whether he said "mama" or "dada" that one time. :P

Plato says "why?" when I won't get up at 5:30am to feed him when he knows damn well the alarm is set for 7.

Socrates just sounds all tragedied when the catering service continues to suck or he's getting shorted on the scratchie time.

Neutrino is pretty quiet - she's the smallest one of the bunch, but she's got the second loudest purr.

[july302001]

27. the Chairman?!

My crazy thing has never gotten past the Cultural Revolution. What does she say?! MAO! of course.

It does not care about my name or anyone else's name. It's either 'mao' or 'MA-AO' .

I'm thinking about getting that silly cat a copy of the little Red Book it loves so much. Some say cats are Republicans. Mine's hard-line Communist! LOL

Awfully odd that it has Capitalist Cat Food preferences. Purina ONE is rated much better than 9Lives. B-)

[Bossy Monkey]

30. Let one thousand catnip flowers bloom

Lot of kitties need the Little Red Book, seems like.:)

[siouxsiecreamcheese]

28. meep meep meep

my lil Siouxsie never meows just peeps and squeaks and makes a meep meep meep sound

[stuntcat]

29. two of them are tight-lipped little guys but,

but my black cat says "hey, hey, hey, hey" like a dog yapping. She also chases her tail all the time, I need to tape it..
Look at their video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q5wVesWAZo
:headbang:

[Zookeeper]

31. My 19 year old, scrawny, Siamese has an unearthly...

howl that must wake the neighborhood.

Our new, HUGE, 18 pound boycat has a tiny little meow.

My DH says to him, in a sweet voice, "You're just a little, bitty, teeny kitty." Then strains his back picking him up.

[MorningGlow]

32. Several cats, several trademark noises

Jasmine, our airhead: "Proop?!" Translation: (insert Valley girl voice here) "Whuut?"

Dilbert, our alpha male who's disgusted with everything: "Moooop...mooop..." Translation: "Gee I'm bored..." (usually said, loudly, around 2 a.m.)

Clover, our pisspot: "MEEEEEE!" Translation: "Time for bed so I can settle between your knees. NOW!"

[HEyHEY]

33. "Please...let me out of this closet"

[madinmaryland]

34. FEED ME NOW!! (in unison)
