Movie (er, Tuesday!) continues

Let's give it up for the 'silent meow' People—you know what I'm 'tockin about—when a kitteh opens his mouth to meow, and nothing comes out. At first!

Brush brusha brusha, Atalhualpa1!

// DON'T PANIC, PEEPS -- it's technically Tuesday today.  Deep breaths. //

Thats kinda what my daughter looks like when I try to brush her hair, but a lot louder and a lot sooner!

My orange tabby does the silent meow thing, but with him it is an artform. He generally couples the silent meow with the most pathetic look he can manage:

I've been conned out of more bits of roasted chicken that way.

Does anyone know the book _The Silent Miaow_ by Paul Gallico? It's one of my faves.

rpennefe, LOL!
This kitteh looks much larger until you see a human hand for perspective...actually a little bitty sweetie. It's cold and blustery outside, I need a purring kitters on my lap!!

eh, my kitteh's not so big on chicken...she likes powdered donuts!

brinnann
 |  Feb 06, 2007 at 11:26 AM

Kitty likes to be brushed! Wow!

My cat Spanky does the same thing, especially when he's pleading for more food. It's usually backed up by a very soft purr.
This little sweetie has the most adorable kitteh belleh, though. So hard to resist them!

The best sort of silent meow is the kind that comes from behind a sliding glass door when someone wants in. You can't hear it, but you can see your kitteh opening and closing his mouth. Priceless.

I thought my cat was the only one who had an addiction to powdered sugar donuts. Anything sweet, actually. Or anything that I'm trying to eat.

Kitteh: "Wait. Are you filming this? That's not cool."

Purrbot is afraid of ending up on Kitters Gone Wild.

Oh, what a cutie kitteh!!!!

Now that is just what I needed today.

I love the silent meows--one of mine does that all the time, we call it her "meh" because she barely gets out a sound.

ohmigosh, Ms. Amanda, I was going to write exactly the same thing -- only my late, great kitteh, Maggie, really wouldn't be making any noise. I think she thought it beneath her. (see nose in air)

marmar
 |  Feb 06, 2007 at 11:59 AM

Beth, for a second I thought I was the only one that noticed! Then I started wondering if maybe I was wrong. I wouldn't mind if yesterday was just a bad dream...

It's 'Movie Monday' *continues*. Imagine a comma after the word Monday. :-)

You woke the kitten and he objects!

Cheryl S
 |  Feb 06, 2007 at 12:21 PM

beth, it's because we had no posts yesterday, so today is monday to meg.

Rosie
 |  Feb 06, 2007 at 12:22 PM

yes Perf, and it was great, but i like the abandoned much more, it's so sad....

Rosie
 |  Feb 06, 2007 at 12:25 PM

I love how the little ears are ever so slightly splayed to the sides.

Sadly, none of my current kitties choose to express themselves so... demurely.

(Current kitty uses sentences. I wake up in the morning to "Meah, meah mrr-mor mrow; meah meah. Maow?")

I call that "being on mute" when my cat does it. No sound comes out at all sometimes.

Jennifer
 |  Feb 06, 2007 at 12:26 PM

daddy! don't stop! brusha brusha!

 |  Feb 06, 2007 at 12:30 PM

BenPanced
 |  Feb 06, 2007 at 12:33 PM

Lol the kitten totally woke up and was all like, "Hey that felt good why'd you stop?"

geminaide

Such a tiny meow! he sounds more like a wee (really wee!) chipping sparrow.

kbo

I LOVE SILENT MEOWS! My cat does them all the time.... :)

Mary
 |  Feb 06, 2007 at 12:59 PM

my parents had two cats...a brother and sister...for 18 years. the cats were around long before i was, and i'd never heard punkin, the girl, make any noise,so i assumed she was mute. she'd just open her mouth and no sound would come out. i found out later that when my parents moved cross country, before i was born, from california to michigan, and the cats spent what must have seemed like *forever* in a car, in a cat carrier...she essentially made one long yowl for 3 days of travel, and the day they settled in their new home is the day punkin stopped talking. at the end of her life, though...on what we soon found out was her last night on earth, her and her brother talked to eachother the entire night. i swear to god it was the saddest thing i've ever witnessed, and i just made myself cry a little remembering it!
anyway. thought i'd share. :)

The cutest part is the purr-motor starting up at the end...

sarah beth - You are really good at sharing. Thanks.

Sarah_Beth, thanks for sharing. That made me cry a bit too....

Kitty believes in speaking nicely to the staff.

There is nothing better than a cat who LIKES to be brushed!

DKN
 |  Feb 06, 2007 at 01:48 PM

I love this sound! My cat makes 'em all the time!

Edith
 |  Feb 06, 2007 at 01:56 PM

OMG sarah_beth, that is too strange & beautiful! Thank-you!

violetgreen
 |  Feb 06, 2007 at 02:16 PM

Our kitteh hated grooming. We had to wait until she walked by; and then one of us would reach out and give her a 'drive-by brushing'.

And sara_beth, thank you. It just goes to prove that animals can see beyond what humans can. Perhaps Punkin was telling her bro where she'd be waiting at the Rainbow Bridge?

Congratulations this post has been nominated for a Hot Stuff Award at GNMParents.

Erica -- cool, thanks... just so's you know, though, Cute Overload is definitely PG-13.
We're kind of a rowdy crew, but we're good-hearted. ;)

Also, the video belongs to "Atahualpa1" on YouTube...
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=Atahualpa1
...it was just SUBMITTED to Cute Overload (where we're more than happy to show it).
