Melody (RB) did that, too. I learned to recognize her "Come running! I
caught something" sound pretty darn quickly, after she uttered it right
before dropping a LIVE bug at my feet. (I have a really major bug
phobia.)

In Melody's case, she'd holler, "AaaaAAAAOW! AaaaAAAAOW!" at the top of
her lungs, while holding said bug in her mouth. The first time she did it,
I got scared that she was sick or hurt. Until she dropped the bug in front
of me, and I nearly had a heart attack, lol.

From then on, every time I heard her make that noise, I knew what it
meant. From HER point of view, it might have been an attempt to teach me
to hunt like a feline. To my mind, it meant, "Oh, no. A bug. Where's my
shoe, so I can dispatch it rapidly, human style?"


It's so funny how the POVs are different. There are people who think
of cats as a means of "pest control,"

I tend to think of cats as moving targets or road pizza
