We happen to have one very noisy girl-cat!

She’s sitting in a computer chair fast asleep right now as my fiancé plays Civilization IV. I like the music from that game, and love to sit and knit and watch him play. Right now I’m blogging though… stated Captain Obvious! Anyway, our girl-cat is asleep in the chair I usually sit in. My fiancé just told me to stop tying and to come in to his study really quietly. After a few seconds I hear a high pitched breathing in wheeze/upset pipe sort of sound. Then she started twitching like she’s having a dream, but very violently.

My fiancé started patting her, talking kindly to her, and she didn’t wake up, but she stopped seeming fretful. She’s sleeping calmly now, but she’s now snoring up a storm. It’s a funny noise, one that I’ve caught on camera before, too. I’m glad he calmed her down, because she can be a very highly strung cat at times. We’ve had some thunder storms in the past week, and she gets all upset and hides behind doors or under coffee tables and such. It’s pretty funny. She’s a wee baby yellow-belly.

She’s not just noisy in her sleep, though. Oh no, she’s incredibly loud awake! For a cat that only weighs 5.3kgs – I measured her this morning – she’s awfully loud. If she wants pats, food, or to go out or come in, she meows a lot, and she meows loudly! If you move her, she meows, if you even look at her sometimes she meows. It’s really irritating at times.

Our boy-cat is so very, very quiet. He barely meows. Ever. Apart from the fact that they are both mackerel tabbies, and pick fights with each other, they couldn’t be more different!

Now for a knitting pattern! How about a cat bed! Maybe if she had a Dotty Cat Bed she’d be more restful?
