CInder doesn't like it when I sneeze...??
Cinder, who is the slightly neurotic desk-cat whose territory is my
workspace (she sits next to me, or on top of the laptop (external keyboard and montior, natch) while I am at the 'puter. Since I work from home 2 days a week, and am the computer regularly when I'm not working anyway, she gets a lot of my time and attention. Lately, she has started complaining whenever I sneeze. Does anyone else's cat do that? I sneeze, and she makes this noise that is a combination of "growl" and "chitter", kind of like a machine gun. Every time I sneeze. Which can get interesting when I have those sneezing fits where I go on for 10 or 20 sneezies... What in the world is the problem? I really don't think she is saying "gesundheit" in cat. Besides, she looks REALLY annoyed when she does it. It's like "Cut that out, human!" Anyone else get this from their owners? Deborah slave to the Seven |

Deborah slave to the Seven My cat (coincidentally named Cinders) will dash out of the room whenever I sneeze, then come back in a minute or so. I once sneezed when Merton (once of my sister's cats, now deceased) was sitting on my lap. Merton didn't jump down, but she did look around at me with her ears laid back, an expression that clearly said, "Don't do that again." -- John F.

Deborah slave to the Seven Skeeter (RB) used to run out of the room when I sneezed, especially if she was on my lap at the time. Since I have hay fever, this happened a lot. Sneezing doesn't bother Lindy at all, but she gets very upset, running *into* the room and meowing loudly, if I LOL or cry noisily. Joy |

When I sneeze, the cat who's cuddling with me at the time (could be any one of them) gets up and leaves. The speed of the departure depends on the cat. Smudge sometimes doesn't leave, but she will look put out. Roxy will get up and stalk off in a huff, and then will sit some distance away and glare at me. Licky will be gone so fast I can barely see him go. -- Joyce To email me, remove the triple-X from my user name. ^..^ |

I am just getting over one of those summer cold things where you can hack
your head off. This happens mostly at night and, when it starts there is a parade of cats heading out of the room. Sometimes Piglet looks at me like "will you atop that, I really don't want to have to get up again" "Marina" wrote in message ... Phoenix wrote: Lately, she has started complaining whenever I sneeze.

Cinder may just not like the loud noise and is telling you to stop making
it. There are noises that just jar my nerves and since I had the tubes put in my ears it is even worse. I can only imagine how loud a sneeze is to a cat. Yeah, I think Cinder is telling you to "keep it down!" (or not) Andy |

Most of mine do the same, but I have an exceptionally violent sneeze (seems to be hereditary, my father did the same and he said his father did too). The exception is Splodge. It takes a hell of a lot to bother Splodge (vacuum cleaners? who cares, man...) and he also has a sneeze which would scale up to being much like mine, so he can identify instead of assuming it's a cat bounty hunter with a 12-bore snotgun. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === http://www.campin.me.uk ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts |
