does your cat ever "call' you?

[Uabassoon]

Tibby does this all the time, before I used to go over to her to see what was wrong or what she wanted. But now I've learned that when she meows I just need to call her name and she'll come to me. I think she just does it because she doesn't know where I am.

These are all so funny! LOL! Sammy does this "MOW" "MOW" i (minus the e!) when he wants lovies, and he does it real loud and serious until he jumps in my lap, sometimes he'll just mouth the word "meow", without any sound come out! It's funny! Romeo started doing this chirping sound that sounds more like a pigeon than a cat! this he does with his mouth closed, it's silly! Or he says "OW" "OW" (minus the ME!)

Elvira does this. She'll wander off into the laundry room and it's like she gets lost! lol All of a sudden you'll hear this totally mournful yowl. All you have to do is say her name and she comes running, all lovey dovey like she hasn't seen you in days!

[Felicia's Mom]

Beau does calls me, Felicia not very much.

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

Ally likes to sit on my bookshelf in the study and harass the birdies outside (they nest next to the aircon, and she can smell them and see them - she just can't.....quite....reach.....them.) If the study door is closed she screams her head off until someone opens it for her.

The other day I was having a nice soak in the bath, and my hubby and son decided to go to the swimming pool in our compound. Ally was sleeping on Cameron's bed and she woke up when they slammed the front door closed - then proceeded to YEOW like a fire siren - running though the house looking in every room - she wwas so upset 'cos she thought everyone had left without saying goodbye and giving her a treat. I called her from the bathroom and she was so happy to see me - she jumped up on the side of the bath for snuggles and head-bumpies!

well when they did it to hear where I was, I didn't mind it so much, but now they have been so spoiled, and keep it going even after I answer them, it bugs me, I have to ignore them to make them stop, as long as I know they don't need food or water, and nothing is wrong... sometimes Charlie or Louise will do the crying thing around 4 or 5 AM til I want to yell, then I see they are out of food, and then I feel bad... not often but sometimes the dish runs empty in the middle of the night!
lately some of them do it because they are bored and want to play. Charlie and Cassie especially lately seem to be needing more attention...

Sometimes when Tinky and Jupiter get crazy at night Eric will lock them out of the bedroom and after a few hours Tinky will sit at the door and meow.. meow..meow..meow. Then when I open the door she is happy.

LOL!!!!! Pixel does that too. In fact, EVERY morning at 6 a.m. on the dot, she wakes us up by chewing on our hair, running around and jumping on the side table next to me. I lock her out, and she starts meowing at the door!! If it is a work day, she gets let back in when we get up. If it is not a work day, I go back to sleep and she gets let back in a lot later!

Diva, my CH kitty, is a spaz so when she wants me to come pick her up and carry her somewhere she'll let out this earsplitting MEOW!!!

the bad times?

saturday morning, 0700 hours.....'mrrrttt?'

"mrrrrrrrrrtttttt???????"

"mrrrrrtttttttttt-crash!!!!!!"
( sound of falling articles around the house....)

Ahh yes, the kitty call of the wild! Too funny!! sammy does this too, and the "mrrrrtttt" is always like he's asking a question! It's always "mrrrttt???" As a mater of fact, Sammy did this the other night, was saying mrrrrtttt??, while tearing through the house like a Tazmanian Kitty Devil !! Well, I heard several bangs and crashes, needless to say, the next morning, I seen that he had knocked over a potted plant. Not only did he knock it over, but he had to strangle it, wrestle with it, and rub the soil nicely into mommy's beige carpet! And of course Sammy was proudly strutting around it, as if to say to me "see mommy, I took care of that mean plant for ya!

[Cataholic]

Tex always calls to me. Tenny and Dakky 'whine' to me...and Ally needs me to go see her when she chirps. I usually just try to call their names,and have them come to me. Every once in a while, I do get up to see what is going on cause if seems so serious. Each time, I get a kitty staring at me, "finally, what took you so long?"

[krazyaboutkatz]

Sunny is my yowler. He usually does this at night after I've gotten into bed. I call his name and he usually stops but not always. He also does this during the day to get Storm's or Cirrus's attention because he wants to play. My RB Pepper used to do this too. He'd be walking down the hall and then he'd start yowling like he was in pain. I'd call him and then finally go see what his problem was. He's fine and just wants some attention. Storm used to always run to him when he did this but quickly learned that it meant nothing was wrong.

Tigris looks at me with with a very dominant grin, saying: "maaayyy". Means: You have to change something. And that a little quickly.
He does NOT say please!!!

Filou sometimes whines in the staircase, saying: I am a lonely kitty and lost my waaaayyyyy in the woods.........

Inka is our little "caller" here! Whenever she looses me out of her sight, the calling starts...

[wolfsoul]

Unfortunatly yes.

She never shuts up. I swear to God. Meow meow meow meow meow..on and on and on...

I swear, when people come over to my house they probably think I'm starving her, or that she attention deprived

*sigh* So I must double up on her catnip to keep her happy!
