Cats that growl....and people that love them.

I had never seen the broccoli kitten video, but I also once had a litter of Siamese kittens that would growl and fight over broccoli. Must be a kitten thing!

I've seen a number of kittens at work growl while eating, but be perfectly sweet in purrrsonality in general. It's like they're literally attacking the food. lol

Bear used to growl when eating as a kitten. It didn't bother his brother Pooky one bit. Actually we called him 'Pokey Pooky' because he'd go behind Bear and poke him in the rear which just made him growl louder.LOL That's why I had to give them separate bowls at a young age. I had wanted them to eat from one bowl together seeing as they're brothers, but Bear wouldn't have it that way. He eventually outgrew the growling.

I've had many rescue kittens growl when eating. That's normal cuz they never knew when their next meal was gonna be.

That video is a riot and that kitten is just PRECIOUS!!!!

Amy growls when she is in your lap and you need to get up.... EVERY time! Or if you need to move her from one place to another when she is all comfy and cozy and you need to move her. Grrrrrrrrrrr! She has only started doing that in the last several years.

RB Samson would growl every time someone came to the door. He was "all bark," though. If it was someone he knew, he came running to greet us, and if it was someone he didn't know, he would run and hide.

Saphirah occasionally growls when she is annoyed.

Chloe, as a kitten, would grab a skein of yarn and growl, then run with it, growling the entire time. It was soooo funny to see her take off with the yarn....like she had the "big kill".

All three of my cats growl when they hear a car door or a door open or close. They are my little "watch cats".

I had a couple of cats, years ago, that would growl when they had captured something, i.e., food from the kitchen counter or out of the trash. It did not stop me from taking it away from them .....

I suspect your kitten will outgrow the habit.

It is funny to hear a cat/kitten growl....especially a kitten.

She is funny when she does it. It is only with food, and only with me. I guess I should stop looking so longingly at the dish?

I do laugh when my other cats growl. Dakky starts growling the moment Monte gets on the bed. A couple of my cats chirp more than growl..a discontented chirp...not a happy bird chirp.

This morning, I could get neither growly kitten NOR growly child out of bed! I thought I would deal with this as a teenager...not as a 5 year old!
