My younger cat does. I start to whistle a song, and she is on my lap. OH NO I think... why did I start whistling>?
Same thing when I sing.
Now, if music is playing, which is most always, that does not affect her. Only if I sing or whistle, and she has to be right with me.
She will get close to my face, and rub her cheek against mine and purr.
She always has to be right with me, for the past couple months, which is also strange, because she used to be a little loner, who just kept to her self and would sit with you only when she wanted to.
No she is with me as long as I am home. If I am cooking, with, sitting here, she sits on the floor next to me, or on the back of my chair, sometimes my lap.
If I am in bed... she is with me.
I know this is a no matter thread.. so if no one answers.. its ok... lol
My female, Annabelle Lee, barks at me and dances for treats. I have to get a video of this....sooo funny. When she wants to get my attention, she maks a noise like "rawf", it's not a meow, shorter, sharper tone and her meow is distinct squeeky "mew".
She started dancing for treats...she'll stand by a table leg (always a table dance) purring loudly and mewing, marching her front feet, curling them as she lifts them, and the back feet move too! she has taught herself a rear leg high kick and if I tell her to move the "left foot" she will. I stand by her and sing "chow chow chow" and snap my fingers or tap my hands, she's so proud of herself. Of course it's a ploy to get treats...and it works.
I have always heard that whistling hurts a cats ears. I used to have a cat that came running when I whistled. If would rub on me and love on me, if I didn't stop, he would bite on me a little, nothing too hard.
I do often sing to my cats, I make it up as I go along and work their names into it. Rufus just loves it when I sing to him, you can tell by the look on his face.
My old cat, The Mooch, was white, with blue eyes and partially deaf. He chose to hear what he wanted to hear. To get his attention, I whistled, he'd come running. He heard the whistling! even now, if I'm trying to get the hairballs attention I whistle and of course Bubba comes running, Annabelle...well at least she'll look to see if I have treats!!!
My cat does not like anything. She is too good for us puny humans. She would prefer that we make no nose at all, simply come when summoned for food service, massage or entertainment. Otherwise we are to remain unseen and unheard.
My cat hates country music and Nextel two way radios! I had a nextel and a friend that would call on the radio. Everytime he would talk my cat would run over and start trying to get to my hand holding the phone. One time, my friend called from a bar that had a live country band. He held the phone up to let me hear the music for a minute. My cat bit the phone and tried to knock it out of my hand!
