“she goes thru the house making this loud throaty cry”
Our Siamese does that at night. She carries her small stuffed toy through the house doing that weird yowl from her throat. We thought she was telling us “it’s time to go to bed!” because it’s always around that time. But maybe it’s a hunting-related thing.

Yes.
He’s a brown tabby, and if you make the mistake of letting him sleep too long, he’ll keep you awake all night to help him chase down morsels.
My cat lets me know that she’d take me down if her crunchy dish weren’t regularly tended by the servants.
She even backs it up with reminder nips to the Achilles tendon.
And when I trip over something, she races over not to see if I’m okay, but to see if I’m hurt enough for her to take down.
Spoken like a true cat person! I have three myself.
Oh, I can see where the inspiration could come from. I’ve had pets that like to sleep during the day and want to be played with at night too.
NiMH dropped off a LIVE rabbit in the kitchen.
He then sat and excitedly yipped at us as we chased the rabbitoid miscreant around the kitchen.
This doesn’t include the myriad squirrels and chipmunks he’s brought to us.
Oh, I was referring to the same set, just looking for the exact exclusion. No scales either. I guess furballs don't equal cud. :)
Rainbow Bridge. I’ll meet Homer 1, Homer 2, and Duchess.
NiMH is quite a character.
He was born outside from a feral mother.
But he likes his indoor amenities.
He just prefers being outside, at least until it rains, or snows, or the big rabbit looks threatening.
Not going to do that.
The cat waits by the door if we do that. He bolts the first chance he gets. When he was 6 months old, we spent at least 3 evenings a week trying to chase him down and carry him back. If he gets really frustrated he will "mark" places in the house.
Siberian cats supposedly naturally lack the gene for the saliva protein that irritates some humans so. Allegedly 70% of allergic people can tolerate a Siberian cat. You could visit a Siberian cattery and see if you’re one of the lucky ones.
LOL. I DO learn a lot on freerepublic. I should have stopped when you suggested to NOT look it up.
Sorry to hear about your loss MissEdie.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Before I got Squeek I adopted Molly-Berry thru pet rescue and only had her for 6 weeks before I had to put her down due to liver cancer. her total cost to me for the brief time she was with me including rescue fees was around $800.
I don't mind the monetary outlay for her because she was such a wonderful cat and friendly to all who came into my house. I take solace in the fact that she had finally arrived at a home that appreciated her presence and in her last 6 weeks of life she was loved.........
Whoa... 
Momma!
Now, that's... 
just down right kinky!
What so kinky... 
about kissing a little fuzzy wuzzy?
Gadzooks! I am... 
speechless...
Just like... 
a man!
Look who needs... 
a booster dose of Bond. James Bond.
I... 
need a dose of something!
Yeah, a dose of salts... 
with a dump truck chaser!
I remember reading somewhere that cats, unlike dogs, form greater bonds with a place, as opposed to other people. Maybe this comes from being solitary hunters, as most great cats tend to be, or the fact that most great cats also tend to roam over fairly large territories.
I know that moving can be a terrible experience for a cat.

For reasons unknown, Hawaii forbids bring a Bengal into the state. Dunno what the big deal is. My brother's wife has a couple and loves them dearly.
My cats are named after two Chi-Com dictators. Mao, which means the animal that makes the meow sound, and Hu, which means tiger. Actually, her full name is Xiao Hu, small tiger..
