2. That noise cats make
Do your cats make that chattering noise when they see birds? I can't figure it out. Not sure if they're trying to talk to the birds or sound like the birds or what.

5. More like "ick ick ick" ...
And they sort of chatter their teeth. It's so weird. I've never heard them growl at a bird before, but that doesn't mean they don't do it.

6. I heard they are mimicing the sound and motions of choking prey
when they make those sounds. All my cats have done that the second they see any animal out the window!!!

7. I have three cats
Plus a parakeet and a cage full of finches. My kitties stalk and pounce constantly. The birds know that the predators can't get to them, and I swear they tease the poor kitties. My kitties don't make noises though, they just stalk and pounce.
