Miaw or not miaw

[Randi]

Boots, da KAT, arrived as a *tiny* kitten - barely able to walk. He snuck past Shadow, jumped through the torn screen door and announced his arrival on the arm of the 'kliner chair
with a series of Chirrps and Merrps in my sleeping ear.

No wonder you fell in love with him. I miss Boots too, and reading his happier stories.

Boots often 'communicated' by mental telepathy ... I'd *feel* a STARE and look around to find da KAT throwing A Look from across the room.

Oh yes, I know that one! Isn’t it amazing how a cat can just LOOK at you from a distance and you MUST obey!

Bengalz, Eve sounds like a sweet girl, but also as if she has you trained well.

Donna, it sounds like you don’t get much of your beauty sleep! Neither do I. Fister will come trotting in, half an hour after I fall asleep to tell me what he just saw out of the window.

Jenn Librarian, yours really sound very different. Fister will shout at me non stop if he thinks I’m up too late. He needs his reading time in bed with me.

I am definitely hoping her meowing will calm down as she gets older.

Don't hold your breath! It will most likely get worse.

But he can YELL his MEOW

LOL! Fister certainly can too, especially when he wants me to come to bed!

After being in cat hotels over the years, we noticed that Fister would miaw more for each time, so I'm sure he picked it up from the other cats - or he he wanted to make sure we completely understood that he was not amused!!
