    Wild horses on the staircase...

    As I sit at my computer, I hear what sounds like a thousand wildly galloping horses careening up the stairs. How can three cats with velvet paws produce such awesome sound effects?

    Haha! That's hilarious! You'd be amazed the sounds my cats can produce. And I only have two!

    Eddie does this especially well. And as my office is tucked under the staircase it is even more effective in getting my attention!

    Wild horses on the staircase

    I know what you mean about the herd of horses. When Groucho starts running through our place he sounds like a bunch of adult elephants.

    Imagine, having ..... oh, *more than 10* kitties in your home, and a stairway too!
    No sound sweeter than a stampeding kitty herd!

    It is one of the many amazing features of cats. They can stalk a sibling with dainty delicate steps, jump down from a cat perch with barely a sound as they continue to track the "prey." Then at other times, their exuberance comes through LOUD AND CLEAR.

    And how about if you have carpet, and you hear them scratching off with every step, to get traction? That works even in a bedroom or a long hallway.

    Yes, I have experienced the thundering herd of horses effect. Not too much lately since Peanut is getting old, but when Tubby & Peanut were young....

    Makes one wonder if Carl Sandburg ever actually LIVED with a cat.

    Of course, around here the fog usually comes in on big Siberian tiger feet.

    I have no carpets, just hardwood floors. I can sure hear them scratching on THAT.

    It sounds like an NBA Basketball Game here sometimes with the Kitten Trio racing up, and down the stairs.

    I always figured that cats controlled the effects of gravity on themselves. They can land on a bed like a feather or a bowling ball - whatever they are trying to achieve. [BAM! Oh... are you awake?]

    I refer to my gang as RHINO's stampeding. I can assure you that the entire house shakes.
