Are my cats trying to talk to each other? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 89/100. beautyqueen26 (7082)   ranked 89 out of 5,862 in cats1 month ago

Right now, my two female cats are lounging on the
loveseat in the computer room.

One is perfectly happy trying to take a nap.
And the other one is acting weird.

Just now, she rolled onto her back and started making
a chirping sound. And she tried to touch her paw to the
other female cat's paw.

I've never seen her do that before.

Why do cats do that? Is that some kind of weird cat
communication? Is she talking to the other cat with her
chirping sounds?

Would love to know.

Could be one of many things but two come to mind,

Cats play with each other as a form of communication in friendship.

NOW SIT DOWN, the DAM thing is coming into HEAT,and wants mating,

The chirping is similar to purring and I have seen it a couple different ways. First the way you mention it, except my cat was making love to his wife, the blanket. The other way is when they are playing hunt and pretending to catch prey.

I haye it when cats talk to eack other. It is so irritating especially the neighbors cats and they do this at night! other cat communication is like playing to them.


myLot reputation of 89/100. beautyqueen26 (7082)   ranked 89 out of 5,862 in cats  4 weeks ago

Yep! Our outdoor cats wail! It's very disruptive.

Yes, they are, although I couldn't begin to know what. My cat does that to me - she'll get behind me and give me a chirp and touch me with her paw. I'll turn to pet her and soon, she's doing it again. She wants some attention. My two cats aren't friends, so Chloe will do that to me, not to Shady. Yours is probably wanting some "one on one" time with the other one. Maybe some mutual grooming or something.


myLot reputation of 89/100. beautyqueen26 (7082)   ranked 89 out of 5,862 in cats  4 weeks ago

I think you're right on the attention idea.
Little Buddy (the chirping cat) has tried to make
good friends with EB (the other cat)
since she came into the house this past year.

EB has slowly warmed up to her charms!

I think the two female cats would be best friends if EB
would give in!

I would say yes she's trying to communicate with the other cat in hopes to become friends. I think it's a way of her showing that she's not going to hurt the other but wants to get closer if it's ok with the other. If the other swats at her then she'll know it's a no no and to leave her alone. I love watching cats too. They're funny little creatures and so very loving too.

They always make me smile! happy

She probably is try to tell her something.
I get those chirpy noises from Lacey. Most of the time it is when she is staring out the window and sees birds or squirrels. Sometimes she does it if she sees a bug in the house.
Sparkle used to do it too when she was inside.


myLot reputation of 89/100. beautyqueen26 (7082)   ranked 89 out of 5,862 in cats  4 weeks ago

I wish we had squirrels in our area.
My cats would go nuts!

At least it would keep them occupied.

Right now, we have small lizards in the yard
and on occasion a lizard will make the mistake of
coming into the house.

Boy! Oh, boy! The cats have a field day with that
silly lizard.

If I catch the lizard in time, I toss it out the
front door.

But first I have to feed the outdoor cats so they
don't finish the lizard off.

Poor baby! What a way to go!

myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (2351)   ranked 192 out of 5,862 in cats  4 weeks ago

We don't have lizards. But I do know about cat getting anything. One of our outdoor cats likes catching and eating butterflies.
Tonight Gwen and I caught one of the little kitties munching on a poor little bird. Just saw the feathers sticking out of her mouth.


myLot reputation of 89/100. beautyqueen26 (7082)   ranked 89 out of 5,862 in cats  4 weeks ago

crycryOh, poor baby! What a sad way to go.
Did she save any for the other kitties? lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (2351)   ranked 192 out of 5,862 in cats  4 weeks ago

I don't really think so. Some of those kittens are just so ferocious when they have food. They growl. Its mine and you can't have none!!


myLot reputation of 89/100. beautyqueen26 (7082)   ranked 89 out of 5,862 in cats  4 weeks ago

Those are the outdoor kitties?
I didn't know cats could be that way.

Though thinking about it, my big cat, Big Man
does growl at me when he gets hold of a chicken bone.

As if I'm going to want to share that?

Good grief. I have my own chicken bone, thank you!

lol

P.S. I got the link for the wrist wraps.
You're a life saver. Thanks!


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (2351)   ranked 192 out of 5,862 in cats  4 weeks ago

It is funny. They are chomping away an then you hear a very low growl coming from low in the throat. Makes me laugh. Nobody is trying to get THAT.
sometime if you want I'll add you to myspace friends. I got my kitty pics posted.

That's what it sounds like to me. Animals have funny and cute ways of communicating with eachother. They really get creative sometimes. Whether they love eachother or hate eachoher they always have something to say to eachother.


myLot reputation of 89/100. beautyqueen26 (7082)   ranked 89 out of 5,862 in cats  4 weeks ago

I've noticed that too.
Actually I think the older female cat, EB
taught that chirping sound to Little Buddy, the younger female cat.
And then later the little one just repeated it.

About three weeks ago, I caught EB chirping to Little Buddy.

She was looking right at her and chirping.

I think she was really talking to her.
