WHAT is my cat trying to TELL me?

[Sugar Smack]

She's slinking over to me every 5 minutes, and meyowing some LBN message, LOUDLY. She's coming from my bedroom and jumping onto my desk. Then, he starts trilling and meowing and staring me full in the face, very intensely, as though she has some VERY PRESSING MESSAGE to convey. So, as is my habit, I coo and stroke her face, as if I haven't seen her in 10 minutes. She's a Calico Tabby. Is it the full moon? Oh, god. It's down to 1 minute per "report". Then she seems to slink peacefully back into the bedroom. Is it the weather?

[GOPisEvil]

1. It's Timmy! He's fallen in the well!

:o

[lizziegrace]

3. You must save Timmy!!

either that or she can see the bottom of her food dish. Gracie is completely freaked when she sees there's only food around the edges. x(

[GOPisEvil]

5. It's either Timmy or a toy is under something heavy.

Cats. :eyes:

[Sugar Smack]

Heeee! Thing is, I freak out a little if I see the bottom of her food dish

so she's not trying to tell me that, I think. But she KEEPS coming in here & jumping up and meyowing at me. She even "buffed" my nose a little, if you can believe it. Gave me lots of kitty-kisses. Now the tip of my nose is all shiny! :D

[Sugar Smack]

4. OMG!!!! You will never know! You owe me a new keyboard!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :spray: :spray: :spray: :spray: :loveya: I think it may be along those lines. Thank you so much for that. OMG!!

[GOPisEvil]

7. Can you tell I've lived with cats before?

:D:loveya:

[Sugar Smack]

14. YES!

:rofl: :loveya: :hug: :yourock:

[lizziegrace]

8. But tell me

at what point do we stop pulling that 50 year old man out of the damn well? I say leave him. Or send Lassie to get someone else. :(

[GOPisEvil]

10. I think Timmy needs to stay indoors.

:D

[Sugar Smack]

22. That 50 year-old man needs a leash.

What's the matter with him, that he keeps falling down wells, anyway? Geeze! :o

[Deja Q]

2. Best picture ever!

Maybe she's hungry; needs some tender vittles? :D

:loveya: :hi:

[Sugar Smack]

12. O, no, she's not hungry, but I feel she's trying to "report" something!

OMG! AGAIN!! :rofl: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: How much birdseed did you have to eat today, kitten?

[Deja Q]

17. No birdseed today, hon...

Didn't eat any birds either... well, apart from the chicken omelet... :9

Maybe she's reflecting on something?

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Sugar Smack]

23. I think she's discovered something that requires our combined

attention. I don't know why she would think I have a clue that could match her wit and intellectual process.

She just slinked away again. She's a spooky, beautiful cat. :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Deja Q]

36. Fascinating...

:D

[LiberalHeart]

24. I think she's pooping in the plant.

[wildhorses]

6. I dunno...but, she sure is gorgeous!!

I hope you figure it out and that it is nothing serious:hug::hi:

[Sugar Smack]

13. Sophie thanks you, and so do I.

I am always on the lookout for stuff like an extra note in her voice. She's shed one tear; when I turned my back for a SECOND and she nibbled at some pepper jack cheese. I got her to diffuse it with regular dry cat food. I'm so damned careful about my little baby. My friend thought it was funny, but I didn't.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

9. How old is your cat?

has she had catnip lately? (makes'em crazy..am sure you know that)

Is she peeing OK? (sometimes they really are telling you about distress)

Has she been fixed? (Coming into heat?)

[Sugar Smack]

16. She's three.

She's gone into heat, and she hasn't been fixed. I keep her indoors, strictly. She pees okay, I think she's fairly well adjusted, and I haven't given her any catnip recently. She used to go batshit over that stuff, but not any more.

:-)

[China_cat]

28. We had an intact female

who would come into heat if there was a male who walked by the house. (She never went out)

I think you'd better count on hormones.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

42. You should still get her fixed anyway.

She's far, far less likely to get certain cancers, if she's fixed.

[flamingyouth]

11. Those mushrooms were delicious!

:crazy:

Who knows what cats are trying to tell us? One of ours likes to howl at his cat brush at 3 am. :eyes:

[Sugar Smack]

20. I love their personalities, don't you?

My cat's favorite toy is this weird pink stuffed cat I won for her at the state fair:



My god! It looks like it has a tumor on the side of its neck! And little Sophie carries that thing with her everywhere! :rofl:

[Arugula Latte]

39. Goiter Kitty!

Not enough iodine in her diet, apparently. :cry:

:rofl:

That actually looks like some sort of freaky Japanese anime character or something.

[Shakespeare]

15. That second picture KILLS me!

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! Don't you understand how urgent this is?!"

[Sugar Smack]

19. Thank you- I'm laughing my ass off just looking at it!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :yourock: That is EXACTLY the look: "What the hell's the matter with you?"

[BarenakedLady]

18. Maybe she wants to show you something

Have you followed her? :shrug:

[Sugar Smack]

21. I did, sweetie. I even had to mercy-kill a small cricket she'd found

earlier today. I followed her to the bedroom, where her perch is on my bed at EXACTLY nine pm every single night.

It is kind of fun trying to ranslate a cat, though. I'm learning a lot on this thread.

[Drum]

25. Isn't it usually variations of:

I'm hungry
I'm horny
Clean my litter box
?
:shrug:

Sure is a cutie!

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

26. Clean out the litter box?

Maybe that's what she's asking you to do.

My cat, Buddy passed away in May, but I sure wish I had one. Seeing your kitty's pix make me jealous. She is so cute.

[badgerpup]

27. She's a BEEEE-YOOOO-teefull kitty!

You say she isn't spayed...
If you scratch her at the base of her tail, does she start 'bicycling', or treading with her hind feet?
The trilling and extremely affectionate behavior could be indications that she is in heat.
Wish I could tell ya how to deal with this, except
DON'T LET HER OUT...unless you want to be a granma...;)
Maybe call a vet? S/he could give you tips on how do deal with poor horny kitty if you don't want to get her fixed just yet...

[philosophie_en_rose]

29. All your catnip are belong to us.

:bounce:

[Catshrink]

30. What a beautiful baby! I vote for her being in heat...

My cats mostly ignore me these days, but every once in a while, they decide I'm good for something like some scritches and actually pay me some attention. Sometimes Sam will hop onto a pile of papers I'm grading and decide to take a nap. How do you get a stubborn 25# cat off of anything?

Sam (a.k.a. Buddha Boy):

[SOteric]

31. Have you checked to see if there's a dead mouse in the bedroom?

Or some other exciting/distressing/unusual thing?

[caty]

32. My male cat, Bogie

acts like that when a male stray is hanging around the outside of our house. Even though Bogie has been neutered, he still fills the need to defend his territory when another male is in the neighborhood.

[Guava Jelly]

33. He is saying

If by chance you croak.
I am eating that beautiful face :)

[lildreamer316]

34. "Come and lay doooooowwwwwn so I can lay dooooowwwwn too..."

Sometimes they do that. I dunno. You must live by their schedule, dammit!!

[Kajsa]

35. I think that's it.

One of my kitties meows until
I go to bed so he can jump up next to me and
snuggle.

He is spoiled, as is his brother.

btw; She is gorgeous.

;-)

[Janice325]

37. Are you on the computer a lot?

I have 2 males cats (neutered) and a female Yorkie-Poo (spayed). When either of the two cats comes up on my 'puter desk, plops himself right in front of the monitor, I know it's time to leave DU and the computer for a while and give the boys some attention.
The dog jumps up and puts her paws on my knee, looks at me so sweetly and lovingly, and I think she's trying to tell me to stop all this stuff on the computer and come play with me!! That's what she's doing right now, so I think I better go for a bit.
Catch ya'll later!!
PS You have an adorable kitty!!

[texanwitch]

38. Wow, our cats could be twins.

My cat talks to me all the time, sometimes I can figure out what she whats.

[BluePatriot]

40. Awww...what a sweet kitty

It's obvious your cat is trying to tell you...."Meow"

Hahaha...*runs, hides*

[Demoiselle]

41. She's in heat or just going into heat. And she's beautiful.

[VeggieTart]

43. What a pretty girl

You absolutely want to get her spayed. My cat is pretty vocal, usually when I get home. She sometimes talks while I'm on the 'puter, but it's usually just to say hi. She's defintely spayed; I wouldn't have been able to take her home from the Humane Society otherwise.
