Ever since Stinky was a kitten, whenever he hits the floor from a

"rrrooff!" It's adorable.



Hey that reminds me - does anyone else's cat make a little
"mrrrp" mew when they run through a doorway? Especially if the
door isn't open very far? My Arthur and Katie both do it, and
I've never figured out why.

Maybe they're saying "Hey, I'm here!" Stinky is always going "prrrt"
and "mewrp" and "wrrrrrrr" and even "WOW!" Oh no, cats are quiet
animals. :P

Single-mindedness is all very well in cows or baboons; in an animal
claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful.

That's cute. Roxy does something similar, although it's more like
"uhnmrrt?" It's a single-syllable, grunt/meow/purr sound, all in one.

Oh, Nikki makes those sounds, too, though more often when she jumps up on
something than when she jumps down.


Stinky definitely has two different "jump-up" and "jump-down" noises.
Sometimes he "wrrrrrrrrs" a bit before he makes the jump-- then goes
"blrrrrrp?" when he lands. When he hits the floor jumping down, it's
a little grunt-- "rrooff!" You can hear a little air being expelled.
