Might As Well Talk To The Wall
I just got done reading Marina's story about Nikki (RIP, precious
girl) talking to walls (thanks to Flippy). Does anybody know why (save for the mothership thing) furkids do that? My little Princess Meena talks to the kitchen wall on Sundays only (we're usually doing the crossword puzzle at the kitchen table). Sometimes she chats with the living room wall, but mostly the kitchen one. We can't help but laugh. I think *she* thinks **we're** nuts! Mare |

Mare I think it's the same reaction they have when seeing birds or squirrels outside. They're probably hearing something in your walls, a bug or even just the insulation settling. Their hearing is phenomenal and they're probably just focusing on something they've heard that we can't - which is still creepy to watch (I always ask mine, "Are you seeing a ghost?" when they do that). Hugs, CatNipped |

Hugs, CatNipped Yep, Persia was yelling at the walls around the chair she chased the greeblings from the other day. Mom says she's crazy; naw, she's just being a cat Jill |

Their hearing is phenomenal Yeah - when they *want* to hear! The Princess can be on one of her deck "thrones" and when I call and call her, she won't even acknowledge my presence - won't even look in my direction! Other times she is *so* affectionate she makes my heart swell. What an exasperatingly magnificent creature! ?;^) and they're probably just focusing on something they've heard that we can't - which is still creepy to watch (I always ask mine, "Are you seeing a ghost?" when they do that). We ask the same thing, as we are convinced that Mookie (RB) is still lurking and watching over us all. Mare |

I think WooToo is talking to my, our, Mom. Probably telling her that the service is good but the place is too messy, that she has gotten used to the other cats and the d*g and has come to like them but that I still haven't gotten a haircut. But Mom probably knows all that anyway. Of the others, the only really talkative one, unless you count purrs, is Sunrise and mostly she talks to Buddy the parrot. It sounds like a real conversation, even though the only recognizable _words_ are from Buddy and even she does more "mum grak inna gurgle" then "pritty girl" or "rugrat." -- Will in New Haven |

Two nights ago I went to call the fur kids in. Kayla and Molly were sitting in the back yard with their backs to me. Just about a foot apart at the base of the big tree. And both staring up into the tree. It looked for all the world like they were praying, though I suspect we may have a squirrel. Jo |
