Guest guest Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Hey , Sounds like you have your paws full with neurotic cats, domineering cats and mother cats. Just make sure Mom cat doesn't gift you with any more children. I regularly go to my friend's house to feed her brood of 12 (count 'em TWELVE) wretched Katbeasts. All rescued as strays. Finally got smart and started getting them neutered. But 12 in the house and 8 out side. They all meow, and I ignore them all. Good that you can hear and understand the various cat languages. Perhaps it is a gift, much like Harry Potter can understand Parseltongue (language of snakes). I can see a book in this, perhaps down the road. Understand you did a bang up job talking to the Congress about CIs. Good for you. Think of all the other things you stand to learn both from humans and felines now that your hearing is so good. Thanks for sharing those CI moments. The Original I did not know that one cat's meow sounds like she is asking a question - " Meow? " in a high pitch plaintive tone. Another meow's with a definite " purr " interruption, causing an almost rattly " mm-ee- oo-ww " . The third cat meows rather low and bored. A cat's meow is individual. That all may seem like I'm stating the obvious. But I just now am hearing it - thanks to my cochlear implant. The CI has allowed me to hear something rather wonderful in a simple cat's meow. Imagine learning cat's meow differently at the age of 39! I'm momentarily stunned into silence about that. Ok, the moment is over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
