I don't own a kitty :( well...I should say I don't have one as a pet, they're not property after all.

Does anyone else have a cat that makes a strange sound, like a "mrrrrp"? Kind of like a cat grunt. My cat does it often, like when she's surprised (like if I sneak up on her) or happy. She seems to do it more and more, now that she's old (she's 11 or 12). I don't think I've had a cat that makes this noise before.

I call that the cat "start-up" sound. You can hear it in the first Simons Cat episode:

Oops I should have posted a spoiler alert.

Ah well, anyone reading this thread has seen it already :biggrin:.

Very cute! My cousin's Siamese actually liked getting a bath in the kitchen sink (she started him young) but I don't think he would have liked the "shower".
