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?

http://www.alexanderpringwilson.org/.../laughspew.gif 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!
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! :eek: :rolleyes: :D
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.
BOOTS ?? :pQuote:

I've gone to check on him more than once - thinking he FELL. :rolleyes:
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.... :eek: :D :D
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. :D

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

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?]
It is Snoopy's favorite game to run up and down our staircase!! No need of 4 good paws to do that :p ;)
I refer to my gang as RHINO's stampeding. I can assure you that the entire house shakes. :rolleyes:
