She sounds like Katharine Hepburn!
Buffy does this funny thing from time to time, usually when we're
playing. She'll start to meow just as she begins to run toward me. She sounds for all the world like Katharine Hepburn when her voice was quavering. Not to disparage that grand dame of acting but if you ever saw the film 'The African Queen', just imagine Buffy trying to say "Mr. Alnutt!" Her meow comes out like "me uh uh uh". It's very comical!

LOL! Make a sound recording! Or video! Even if I had the equipment, you know cats. She'd never do it on cue. I'd never be able to grab the camera fast enough. If I did she'd stop and wash her back leg or something. Still cute, but not the same as hearing "Mr. Alnutt!" in cat. LOL Jill |

Dogs can do this sort of "imitation" too. My take on this is that they are imitating the over all human speech pattern.

One day I called, "Here, kitty, kitty!" and the dog answered, "Meow". |
