The past two days he has been talking up a storm! I sit and read when I get home from work and he walks around me talking in several of his launguages. And when I ask him "What?" he meows real loud. Yes, I know what he wants, he wants me to take him outside so he can smell the smells.
He doesn't purr that much but when he does it sound like a lion or tiger. It's almost subsonic. Real deep.
He is such a great cat!
When we got ours as babies, they were silent - never a peep. Now they are only quiet when asleep! We love the tribble sounds - those usually seem to mean, "come play with me!"
Other whines, mews, squeaks and yowls we've been able to translate:
"Come find me!"
"Crap - I'm stuck in the closet again!"
"I said, RUB. MY. BELLY!"
"Pick me up!"
"I did not give you permission to pick me up."
"Why mommy? Why are you torturing me with a hair brush?"
"I love you!"
"You just suck."
and my favorite from my boy cat..."HI MOMMY HI DADDY I JUST WENT AND GOT SOMETHING TO EAT AND USED THE LITTER BOX AND NOW I'M BACK TO SNUGGLE IN BED IS IT TIME TO GET UP SOON??????"
Can't seem to convince him he doesn't need to announce his return to our bed at 3am.
