matt1215 0 #1 October 11, 2006 Is it fair to say a purring cat is a happy cat? Abby's my first experience with purring, mostly when I pet her. She doesn't purr very loudly, but strong enough that it vibrates her whole body. She sounds like a little compressor, complete with the intermittent harmonic some compressors have.

LisaM 0 #2 October 11, 2006 That's what I hear. Now would someone tell me why my kitty was just wrapped in a towel pawing with her back paws so hard at the towel she was shaking the entire couch? Kitty is freaking me out! She's been a spaz case! I am all tense! ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt1215 0 #3 October 11, 2006 Sounds like she's just playing. Shadow gets the ghosties all the time, running all over the apartment, pouncing on imaginary prey. Often I hear her slipping and sliding on the kitchen floor at 2am. Scared the hell out of me first few times she did it, but that's just her way of playing and bleeding off extra energy.

AggieDave 6 #5 October 11, 2006 Purring is an emotional response. Kittens will purr for some really odd/random things. As they get older, adult cats tend to purr when they're happy or content. Cats also communicate with their tails and how they move it and how they're holding it. A cat also has a LOT of voice inflection and facial expressions. They will tell you exactly what is on their mind. That and they're like a teenager. They want you to love them, then they want to be left alone, then they get really mad at you for not catering to their every need and will retaliate some how...then they'll love you again.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Okay thats a bit strange, but I say that since I've never been a cat lover...they're too "aloof". But okay I'll still do CRW with ya...and yes, that's Thanksgiving Weekend at Zhills for the all skills camp Friday thru Sunday.

Probably my favorite facial expression is her "WTF??" that she uses when she gets a bath or I trim her nails. Common in Shadow's voice are "FEED ME!!!", "Let me out!!!", "Play with me!!!", "I was sleeping you son of a bitch, and you woke me!!!". All spoken either very sweetly or with fiery hatred.

A lot of people that have never spent any time with me in real life (away from work) don't realize that I'm a big teddy bear. You know Amazon, I think you and I would have a lot of fun on a DZ together. At the very least we'd get some fun jumps in, maybe have a "race" jump (if you still do any speed jumps). Of course we'd probably argue about beer choice, give up and go to wine or whiskey. That and I like cats, had a cat growing up...well, it turned into my parents cat when I went to college. My wife and I have have Katie Kat and The Dude. Katie is a lovable bitch and The Dude...well, he really is The Dude.
