Ever get yelled at by your cat?

[Dem Agog]

This guy regularly meows and yells at me. He learned to be bossy at a very young age, as you can see.

1. Quite a few times, but at least three cats!

My late cat Bonaparte not only yelled at me, but also gave me the middle claw when I was late to open the door for His Meowjesty. It didn't matter if I had to go to the bathroom--only that HE has to use the kitty litter! He actually--believe it or not--cursed me out as in, "Meow you!"

My defunct Sylvester yelled at me for coming home late to feed him.

My Tweety used to scream at me if I didn't give her a slice of turkey, or if I kicked her off my lap when I was reading the paper or a book.

2. Well, that's par for the course

for being owned by a Siamese.

3. That's a great photo!

what a beautiful kitty! Cats from the middle and near East are VERY intelligent, and therefore pretty talkative. My Turkish Angora makes little "erp" noises whenever I say anything to her (my previous Turk did the same thing).They get quite loud when she wants me to play with her. My domestic shorthair bitches me out every time I come home from a long trip-sometimes four hours worth of kitty grousing!

5. What a great pic. A great way to start my day.

You should record him and then upload the sound file
so we can click on it and hear him too.

6. He is Siamese, didn't you know that they can TALK!

My half Siamese and I have regular conversations, they are a very articulate breed.

7. Hey didn't you hear me??? I want to eat NOW! n/t

12. Einstein is also very demanding ........

when he wants to eat...which is all the time.

8. Of course. I have two cats, and one is a Siamese/Tabby mix....

...but she inherited all the Siamese traits. She talks all the time. She lets me know what she wants, what she doesn't, where she wants to go, where she wants me to sit, and when I can and can't talk to my wife. I think its a Siamese thing. I think its cute, and talk right back to her, and we have big conversations.

9. I knew it had to be a meezer!...I have one who never shuts up..

Here is Razputin (Razpy) doing his Domingo imitation.



Here he is chastizing me because he ripped open a bag of flour and got some on himself..



Razpy is all brown,down to the whiskers, with white front toes. His litter mate was a chocolate point meezer. Go figure! Your boy is very handsome.:)

10. verbal vs nonverbal cats

DemAgog, your cat really looks like he has something to say!

My two kitties are pretty quiet and don't communicate verbally. One communicates with her collar bell and they both communicate with body language.

My brother's cat, however, is another story. Puddintain is very verbal and grouses my brother out over the slightest indiscretion. One time he accidentally got locked in the basement for six hours and when my brother finally discovered it, Pud crabbed about it all the way up the stairs. Then he left. But a few minutes later he was back, grousing again. Guess he figured he didn't get his point across!

Personally, I would love to have a "verbal" cat.

11. yep, and it's getting worse the older they get.

When Mr. Pcat and I met - the two cats we have currently are "his" - they were both very quiet, including our Siamese bag o' bones and fur. Angel broke all of the Siamese rules by being quiet, unpossessive, small (she's only 5.5 pounds, which is part of the reason we have her: she's too small to show or breed.) and very affectionate with strangers. They're 14 and 13 respectively.


Mr. Fuzzy (her "mate") was practically mute. He even meowed silently.

Then they met my cat, Simone. Simone and I had been together for 7 years or so at the time, and she was an only cat. And liked it that way. She was Chartreuse, with the whiskey and cigarettes voice and all. And she talked. A lot. She was a chatty cat.

Simone died in April, a little old lady who couldn't handle the anesthesia at the vet's office. I miss her. She was at least 11, possibly as old as 16, as she came from the estate of a friend and he had her when we met.
Pic here, but click rather than auto load as it's not small.

In the past year, Fuzz and Angel have gotten chatty. Fuzzy talks to me quite a bit, and Angel has discovered that she can sit in the hall and make her little voice far louder by echo. And both of them have realized that humans can be coerced into acting; Simone taught them this, as she had me very well trained. Mr. Pcat being rather hard hearted that way....

So the current state of affairs is such that I get bitched at if I lock them out of a room - especially the bath when they're supposed to be playing lifeguard; if I fail to share X food with them, and if I don't play when they wish to play. (Since I work at home, you can see where this could be a problem...)

Sigh.

13. all the time.

14. My three have really developed the art of wailing

I suppose wailing is cat yelling. One (a tortie or calico--no one knows which, but apparently they're both demanding and egotistical) has started WAILING at a closet door right after eating. She MUST go into the closet right after eating. She doesn't do anything, just goes in and comes out. Weird.

15. Oh, you're in for it!

My life is run by two Siamese. They are very demanding, but are most definitely worth it. Often when I come home later than my curfew ,I get a few minutes of "oh, so you're back now" attitude, and then it's all leg rubs and purrs. Does your cuteness fetch?
