Jumper (part Abyssinian) often will start meowing for no appearant reason when I'm in the middle of some project. He doesn't necessarily want to speak to me, but he appears to be announcing some new discovery that he is about to embark upon. Sometimes, I think that like an excited 4 year-old son, he simply is making a sound to show his excitement with life and he is about to do a new thing.
