Does your cat whir?

[happylabs]

Sometimes when my cats get to running around the house they make a sound that I call whirring. They are running and talking at the same time...whirrrrr. I love it! They don't all do it and they don't always do it when they are running but this morning for some reason there was a lot of whirring going on. I did note there were quite a few bunnies and birds in my yard. I have a lot of windows and a whole acre of land so I suspect the cats were trying to keep up on it all.

Havoc does that quite a bit. That's how I know it's him and not Toby. Havoc is the chattier of the 2 anyway.

I know exactly the sound you mean Our Billy whirrs when he gets excited about something or when he hears me at the kitchen counter rattling the cats' dishes as I dish out cat food. He whirrrrrs and I whirrrrr back at him. It's really cute

Laughing as I read your post and type this. Allie whirs, and I think she is the only one out of 8 that do it. She always gets so wound up, runs through the house, 'climbs' the door frame, whirring as she goes.

Then, I have the chirper. Gus chirps or meoups all the time. As I go to pet him, as I hold him....this little sound that only he makes. Adorable.

Whir... I love that word! It must be joy to listen to. I wouldn't say Fister whir's, he rather chirps and that is so sweet! Funny how many different sounds they have.

Pearl is almost always making some kind of noise. She is a Siamese mix so this is normal. When she jumps down from something or up towards something she'll make a little chirp noise. When she's running down the hall or just running in general she'll really make some very loud noises but it doesn't really sound like whirring or even meowing. It's more like singing to me. She'll go "Bobupbup". Her tail will also become fluffed up because she's so excited and happy.

My RB Sunny would also talk a lot and he would make the whirring noise that you're talking about. I sure do miss him. The rest of my gang don't seem to make noise when running but Ziggy will chatter when she sees something interesting outside.

Alison is a big time whirler. I love it when she does it.
