Kitty FC spoke!
I don't know why Kitty can't speak, but she can't. She opens her mouth but
no sound ever comes out. Because I know she cannot alert me by noise if she needs the outside toilet - which she insists upon, I hang an apron on the doorknob which she will scratch at when she needs the out and I can hear that. Today she said something. Like Ech, eee, orr. Nothing to do with wanting to go out, but her very first communication. Tweed |

Abelard is the same way, except when Eli attacks him, and when I try to
bathe him. I bet KFC would find her voice under similar circumstances, and I bet it would be loud. |

When she tried to meow, it was just a tiny squeak for a big cat. Then one day she was out on the enclosed patio when a big windstorm started. She was truly frightened and I heard yowling that was hard to believe -- she had discovered her voice. She talks now, but her voice is usually soft -- unless she is anxious. MLB |

MLB When I was a child, my father accidently ran over one of our cat's back legs. Fortunately, this was on a gravel driveway, which cushioned the pressure enough that the leg was broken but not mashed flat. Tige (a large yellow tiger-striped tomcat) had to wear a cast for several weeks, but he eventually regained the full use of his leg. The only permanent damage was that he apparently sprained his vocal cords when he screamed as his leg was broken. From that point on, he could meow out loud, but his purrs were too soft to hear unless your ear was up against his chest. -- John F.

I seem to remember hearing or reading somewhere that many cats don't vocalize much unless they're raised around hoomins, since most of the cummunication with other cats is through body language - course that would depend on the breed as some oriental breeds are known as very vocal. I'm not sure where that tidbit of information came from, but it was offered as a possible explanation as to why Rocky seldom spoke. For the first couple years he didn't speak at all, and then when he did start is was a very soft squeaky sound. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Spot with loving memories of Rocky (RB) [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |
