"HUDAV847" wrote in message ... my newly adopted cat was watching birds out the window this morning - his tail started swishing a bit - then it looked and sounded like he had his mouth partially open (like when they do that smelling thing through their mouths) and it sounded like his teeth were chattering - does that happen? anyone know about this? thx! This is common. And it is amusing to watch. |

Absolutely normal. Any cat I've ever owned has done this, usually when
sitting at the window and "watching" birdies outside.

I think it's the cat complaining that he can't reach the birds?

Yes, this is a common occurrence. I've never figured out what it means -- Maybe coaxing the birdies to come closer? |

I call that the "bird call". The cats think if they do that the birds will
come over to them. -- Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time. |

Yes, it's normal: all cats - my cats all have, at any rate - do this
(chatter) when watching birds. Cathy -- "Staccato signals of constant information..."
