Smacking lips? Gnashing teeth?
My big boys get into some good wrestling matches (my mom calls it 'sumo wrestling' :rolleyes: ), and Cole is the one that makes this sound. He opens and closes his mouth a little ways - looks and sounds like he is smacking his lips.
Oscar doesn't do this.
Anyone seen this? I am sure it is a part of the play fighting, but wondered what it was.
My Cats Do Weird Mouth Things Too
My Ziggy does the chattering when she see's birds and I've also noticed her doing some lip smacking after she eats. She really enjoys her food so maybe she's just trying to savor the taste of her food.
Storm does what I'd call teeth grinding or chewing his cud. He'll sometimes just start making a chewing noise but he's not eating at the time. I've never understood why he does this. A friend of mines male cat does the same thing too.
Sorry to hijack your thread but I just wanted you to know that you aren't alone in the strange mouthing department.:o
