There was a pesky mynah bird nearby, out of the reach of Jass and she did not like its presence. I've never heard a cat make this kind of noise before but have you?

Who settled first in Australia - the mynah bird or the domestic cat?
ReplyDeleteHels, introduced to Australia in 1862 to control insect pests in market gardens. So cats would have been here before. Does that sound like a familiar problem?
DeleteHi, yes my cats make those noises, when looking out at birds in the garden and the bird bath. My cats are also indoor cats, although they have a large outdoor run that has different levels...Peta
ReplyDeletePeta, it is weird that I've never heard that noise before. Thanks.
DeleteSounds like Jass has a hacking cough.
ReplyDeleteIt does rather Kirk.
DeleteI've never heard a cat do that but then I haven't owned a cat in 40 years.
ReplyDeleteShe's pretty cute
Kylie, maybe they have evolved a lot in forty years.
DeleteNice to be out in the sun.
ReplyDeleteTP, she does like the morning sun.
DeleteRosita makes that sound when she sees a bird. It sounds like "I want it."
ReplyDeleteGood translating Bob. Jass just says it with a cross between an Australian and South Asian accent.
DeleteMy cats have always made that noise, a chittering noise, when looking through windows at prey they can't get.
ReplyDeletePixie, again I can only express my surprise that I've never heard it in my life.
DeleteYeah, that's the universal cat "IT'S MINE" noise.
ReplyDeleteLol Steve.
DeleteOur late angel kitty Luna used to chitter at birds outside the window. I don't think any human alive can explain why. lol What a cutie.
ReplyDeleteDarla, it seems to be they do this at prey they can't get to.
DeleteI’m surprised you’ve never heard this noise before. It’s very common cat speak for “ I’d catch you if I could get to you!”
ReplyDeleteBunyip, there was a stand off this morning with Jass as close to the nesting site as she could get and one of the birds on a window ledge about two metres away. The bird flew at Jass, but Jass didn't flinch. Since bird hunting would have been outside, I would guess that is why I'd not heard the noise before. Our cats weren't window sitters.
DeleteSorry, forgot to sign off! Bunyip
ReplyDeleteAngel used to sit by the front door and mimic the birds, Lola just sleeps all day.
ReplyDeleteAngel was the hunter and Lola likes to be waited on.
DeleteOur cat made that sound when he spotted a bird through a window.
