Just a fun post for people to add to if you wish. My cats crack me up constantly with the weird and wonderful things they do, including the strangest noises I've ever heard from a cat. My little one can't meow properly but she can squeak, gurgle and howl. Seriously! Like a dog. She gets so excited when playing with a toy she will let out these gurgling little howls that echo in the entrance hallway and freak everybody out, including her older brother who has actually stopped in mid-wash to stare at me in alarm. And my older cat last night made a coughing noise that sounded like a mezzo-soprano clearing her throat

The little noises my kitten makes as she's about to launch herself off of something or onto something, sounds like a trill.

The worst noise my kitten makes is the absolute SHRIEKING/HISSING when I attempt to trim her claws. You'd think there was ritualistic torture going on. It brings the dog running to try and 'save' her.

My cat makes the most pitiful meows when she wants to eat (she prefers it if I pet her and tell her how pretty she it while she eats). Once I was too busy on C-D to immediately 'help' her eat so she meowed 'Mama' -- as god as my witness she said 'mama'. Needless to say I immediately got off the computer and petted her as she ate

My cat grunts. He sometimes does it when he's purring and it's the weirdest noise I've ever heard a cat make.

One cat makes a weird smacking sound at night. He always stopped when you turned the light on. Husband thought I was imagining it. Finally caught him doing it at dawn. It looks like he's chewing cud, like a cow. Years later, he still does it. . . only at night, when he thinks you aren't watching.

The guttural howl/yowl she makes prior to hacking up a hairball. Oh, and the chattering noise when she spies a bird/critter right outside the window she is sitting in.

Weasie can make her meows climb to squeaks when she wants to emphasize or demand something, which is to say at least once almost daily She can also actually grumble under her breath after losing a stand-off and having to eat her everyday food instead of a treat. Her long-lost brother used to make a "mack-ack-ack" sound almost as much as a regular meow too.

Svartee makes this hard to describe sound when she is hunting a ball or a toy mouse inside at night after I am sound asleep. It is between a meow and ???. She did it this morning around 3 am. I was dreaming away but I think the sound penetrated my dream and woke me up (not the first time). Now that I recognize what's going on, I just say to myself I hope she has fun, turnover and go back to sleep.

My other cat, Whiskers snores. It can be kind of annoying when she sleeps right by head and is calling in the cows. I usually just nudge her a little and hope that I can get back to sleep before she starts up again.

When Loki gets into something he shouldn't, like the trash, or starts he starts going after the Christmas tree, I say "Bad kitty!" and he curses at me! He flats his ears back and slinks away going "meah-ah-ah-ah!" His lips curl back when he dose it. He only makes this sound when he gets caught doing something bad.
