Default Harri Roadcat vocalizations

I have been fascinated by Harri's vocalizations since she has been with
me. Just like Tabitha and Samuel, most of her sounds are squeaks and
"mrrrp"s. She does occasionally let out with a standard meow, but they
are fairly unpredictable as to when they'll show up.

She does have one very definite "meow" sound that she's starting to use
regularly. I call it her "Geronimo!" meow.

As I've mentioned before, she likes to ride in the overhead rack in my
truck. When she wants to come out the overhead she will sometimes jump
down onto the back of the passenger seat, but she prefers to jump down
on to my right shoulder. This can be a little bit tricky - we're in a
moving truck, usually bouncing somewhat down the roadway, so my shoulder
is a moving target. She therefore prefers to give me a warning that
she's coming so that I can have a hand available to grab her behind when
it plunks down on my shoulder. For the last couple of weeks, that
warning has been the "Geronimo!" meow. It's sort of a
"meow-owww-mrrrrp", and is followed immediately by a little orange ball
of fluff landing approximately on my shoulder.

Besides making the landings easier for her, it helps my nerves a lot.
There's nothing like driving along in the dark of the night or the wee
hours of the morning, lost in my thoughts, and all of a sudden WHUMP!,
there's a kitten on my shoulder. So I'm praising her effusively every
time she meows before she jumps.

Some day I want to record the sounds of all the kitties. They are just
*too* cute.
