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

[Laura's Babies]

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!

Both my Ziggy and RB Starr would growl over their food too. They were very food aggressive. Starr eventually out grew it but if one of my other cats gets too close to Ziggy while she's eating she'll start growling. She'll also try to steal my other cats food so I really have to watch her.

She also growls and hisses if one of my other cats keeps chasing her or gets too close to her when she just wants to be alone. When Ziggy and Pearl were kittens they both growled at the vet. It was so funny to hear wee little kittens trying to scare the vet. Hopefully your cat will out grow this.
