If you have a cat, you know there are certain sounds with which you become familiar...
- The sound of four kitty feet jumping off the kitchen counter (mine they think they're making a stealthy escape from licking the butter dish)
- The hack-hack-hacking of a hairball
- Various sounds of shenaniganry, most often heard when we are warmly tucked in our cozy beds: picture frames being knocked off tables, Christmas tree ornaments being pawed off a branch and batted across the floor, and more of #1 and #2
- The feverishly frantic pawing at the bathroom door when we are seeking a little privacy
- The raucous rustling of wrapping and tissue paper on Christmas and birthdays
- The herd-of-elephants sound of cats chasing each other across the floor and up/down the stairs
- The crunchy crinkle of kitty claws on a scratching post
- The various meows: happy-meow, feed me-I'm starving-desperate meow, yawn-meow combo, stop rubbing my belly or I'll claw your face off-meow, I'm not going to open my mouth-meow (mrrrrrr!)
- The crunch-crunch-crunching of kibble and the lick-lick-licking of water
- And the best sound of all....the purrrrrrrrr
