I’m so glad neither of my boys do this. The only time I heard Raven do something like this, something was seriously wrong and it did need my attention, and he was a very clever boy indeed to ask for help.
Lupin, you have not only woken Elvis, but caused him to put on his glasses so that he can look (glare) at you over the top of them. It is not quite as bad as having the Judge look over his/her glasses at you like that, but it’s close.
I love Lupin’s all four paws in panel two. OT I received my calendar last Friday! It wasn’t ordered for me until early January but still took a while to travel across the seas. That’s ok though it was well worth the wait.
OT Being a snow bird, Carmela and I took a long walk in the sleet covered sidewalk at 1 in the morning , what a blast! I was laughing silly with enjoyment. We lost power briefly but it is now on. It is now light snow mixed with drizzle and everything has a light crunchy sound. At 64 I am loving it! Don’t have to drive anywhere.
From the Book of Cat – "“Greater love hath no People than this, that People be willing to lie awake in the middle of the night listening to their cats yowl.”
We had an old boy that did this. He was mostly deaf and blind at 21. He just got worried when we weren’t up making noise and motion. I got him a cat tv dvd, put it on in the living room (no sound) and the pics on the tv kept him company. He’s been gone 17 yrs and I still miss him. Some kitties are just soulmates.
Female cats do that by instinct in the hour before sunrise, to broadcast their territory to any nearby rivals, and when they’re in heat, to broadcast their availability to mate. I’ve never know a male cat to do it, though.
The western parts of Alabama are getting various sorts of frozen precipitation today; in my area, it’s just wet … but later on today, the temperatures are expected to plunge; by tomorrow morning, the temps will be low 20s and teens (tomorrow’s “high” might be above freezing)! Tomorrow morning will be brutal, with single digit wind-chill!
Zoomer was always ‘talkative’, but I rarely, if ever, heard him when I was sleeping; and Yeti was very quiet most of his life.
However, after Zoomer crossed over last year, Yeti found his voice. He mews softly and much more frequently now, but not that much at night. Yeti knows who the boss is in my apartment. Well, HE is, but you all understand. :-)
I like the big mouth on lupin. an event similar to this in annoyance would probably be a toddler coming into your room at 2 in the morning asking for either some water/milk, or for you to make the monsters go away.
In his later years our Burmese was losing his hearing. He used to go into the bathroom and yowl like that because that was the only place he could hear himself. (He lived to be 21 – great cat!)
Hubby and I spent Valentine’s weekend on oak island, NC. We practically froze and drowned. Otherwise, Hubby ran and completed his first marathon. I was his cheerleader. He accomplished a life goal at age 49. I am so proud of him!!! We are home safely now with our 4 cats and dog and a huge sea turtle medal. Runoakisland.com.
I’ve had cats “sing” at night – for the joy of singing. I’ve also had older cats cry at night (confusion? senility? eye sight and hearing failing? so the darkness is distressing). My 14yo Boy Cat started with the “crying” sounds at night after I went to bed (the house got dark) about a year ago. I pulled out the night lights to add to rooms without nightlights and added some additional lights to the room with the cat boxes and the room with the food and water. And made sure the hallway had some light — And the crying stopped. Now he sometimes “sings” as part of the 3am Cat Crazies (aka Zoom-ies!) when he’s feeling his oats. :)
Happy valentines day. The duke and success of Sussex are expecting a baby. I’m happy. My mom was a British subject and an American taxpayer. Yet she loved her royal family. So do I. Not necessarily a fan of harry but a major fan of the succession. I predict a girl named Ana Doria. Just want to be the first with this tribute to both mothers and modernization of Diana’s name.
For an aria that’s a real treat, go to YouTube and look up “Cat Duet” Two very serious little choirboys sing it and it’s hilarious! I wish I knew how to post links here, but I’m tech challenged.
When my cat Sally was going deaf, at night she’d stand on the dining room table outside my bedroom & meow loudly, but it took me awhile to catch on to what was happening with her… i had begun to wonder why she didn’t come when i was pouring kibble in her bowl.
