Ever want to know what your cat is trying to tell you? By listening to their meow and following the clues of body language it is easy to figure out what your cat is trying to tell you. The pitch, volume and amount of meowing offer the keys to unlocking the message you are being sent. Responding to your cats meows in a consistent way will help your cat know exactly how to tell you things. For starters here are the most common cat meows translated for us human care givers.

One short meow Translated : "Hello", "see me", and "hi" Explanation: A short meow is a just your cat saying "Hi" and making sure you see her.

Thank you! Thanks for appreciating - this is too much fun.

My little orphan children... I think you posted that yours are all rescues too. The one whose little feet you can barely see - at the bottom right by Mogi... my friend was jogging by the AFB and found a kitten in a carrying case. My friend couldn’t keep her (she lived in an apartment that didn’t allow them), so yet another one added...

Our vet visits our house, thank goodness. And she (and all our other visitors) say they’d never know we have cats (except for maybe the AZ Room where their boxes are). Anyway, the vet always says she’s not family and has no reason to lie, lol. I don’t think it smells but I’m paranoid about it and ask people who haven’t been by in awhile.

/Another side of "Bandit".

When we decided to capture/corral this misplaced and down sized Bengal tiger, we got all the guys together with the appropriate amount of thirst quenchers and had a strategy session concerning the field of battle, arms, defensive weapons, and possible retreat.

It was finally decided the the second bedroom would work as the killer liked to sleep under the bed where he wasn't bothered.

We stationed two men with salmon nets on long poles at the door to the bedroom. The netting was closely woven and said to be of exceptional strength. Three pair of leather welding gloves were close at hand.

My job, I mean who else was going to do it, was to enter the room, leave the door open, and then from the other side of the room, reach down, grab the bed frame, and hoist it up to expose the creature.

All went well. The bed's in the air, the cat's been discovered, the trap is waiting.

He hadn't read the script. He charged to the back of the room where there was no escape. Jim, seeing this move, slipped into the room and started after the little guy, who seeing an opening, did a down field feint, pivoted on one leg at full speed, and arrowed through the undefended spot in the doorway. Trace never had a chance. Jim and I talked about it for months afterwards, but in reality, the moment Jim left his post, Trace was doomed.

Bandit hit the one obstacle in his path, the net and the holder, going through the net like a hot knife through butter and using Trace's arm as a launching pad for his freedom.

With howls of pain and shouts of disgust, we lurched after the snarling ball of claws and teeth, finally seeing him disappear in the wood pile. Suitably clothed with thick welding gloves, six eager hands sought the demon from hell With wood flying through the air, eager hands at last cornered the culpert in a wood shrouded cavity with no escape. Six hands gripped the loose fur'd scallywag as twisting and writhering, he sought to escape. Fighting for naught, he was finally lowered into the traveling cage for his trip to the vet, where he wrecked his vengeance on an innocent and arrogant party...

We have people come to the house all the time and they are shocked to learn that we have cats at all. No smells. We change the litter boxes once a week, we scoop them every day and we have the Kitty Kountry Klub for them to use as well. We have ... five litter boxes. Yes, you do have to be vigilant and if you’re not, THEY let you know that you’re late in getting it changed. Maybe twice, three times a year somebody piddles ON your bed to say, HEY! Gomer ... get it right.

Some of mine…

Also, I am sorry for our confrontations on the immi thread(s)...How could I stay angry with a lady who loves kitties?

Mine is going to tell me that she is going to puke on my couch, puke on my rug, puke on my head by my pillow. I love my putty also.

What kitty is trying to tell you is “If you were smaller, and I were larger, I would EAT you. Now fill my bowl with food and the sink with water. And move over, I want that spot, especially now that its warm.”

I just gave my kitten his first bath. I believe the exact translation to his comments is..”I’m going to kill you in your sleep you Pink monster”

OMG, they are absolutely stunning show kitties! How do you brush them? Do you give them baths? I’m going to ping a friend of mine over - she’s got some Fancy Feasts cats like yours :0)

I’m sorry too. Ditto. No mas, no mas. If I am fighting there again (lol), I’ll make sure it’s not with you.

LOL! No baths. Tried that once with Anna and she wouldn't 'speak' to me or come near me for a week.

Just comb them frequently...they shed a lot. It's a chore vacuuming the furniture but the rewards outweigh the aggravation.

Ragdolls feel they MUST be in the same room as you. They follow you around like dogs.

Baby races me up and down the stairs no matter where she may be...she will sprint to beat me.

Thanks for all your kind words. ;^)

Don’t you love how they think you have an escape hatch if you go into the bathroom and close the door? They have to frantically paw the door...

Oh...you have a bathroom kitty too?

Anna will sometimes run from me when I approach her to pick her up...but will immediately appear around my feet whenever I use the facilities.

They must figure that my position is compromised and they can mess with you. LOL!
