Yes, I speak a little Siamese

My extensive knowledge of Siamese tells me this kitteh is saying "NYERHE!" in 9-thousand different ways.

Rosa P., 1. She is NOT coming inside and 2. Yes she IS being cheeky

I so wish I could here this! The Siamese meow is so cute and funny!

My parrot picked it up and now HE meows like a Siamese too!

Oh yea, and BLEEN?

Yes, my name is really Cricket

Okay, not quite bleen, but still with the qte!

Yes, my name is really Cricket

Hehehe! "nuuuu! don't make me go inside!"

Oh my god! So insistent! So stubborn! So like me and my brother when we were in the pool and didn't want to come in. I love how Alaska won't even make eye contact. Sweet little cheeky monkey. She needs some good corporeal snuggling because of this, methinks...

Ok, maybe it's just early and pre-coffee but I could swear Alaska is mewing with a British accent!

Gorgeous cat, sweet owner, enviable "cat cave."

I knew this would end up on CO as soon as I saw it on stuffonmycat.com. Alaska is a cheeky monkey. I swear she's saying "no" when mommy said "please?, Please?"

Pussytoes
 |  May 02, 2008 at 07:10 AM

That is hilarious! And adorable. Alaska is not afraid to say what she wants!

"are you being a bit Cheeky?"

"nyeeeeah"

I'm not even a cat person and this is adorable - love the flower adorned outdoor grotto ;)

The lady doth protest too much! :P Lovely, beautiful feline. When she turns her head, her profile is almost that of a young lioness!

I have this conversation with my cat every day practically.

Jennifer
 |  May 02, 2008 at 07:23 AM

That made my day! Both of them are charming-that kitty is so funny! And I love her den!

Jorden
 |  May 02, 2008 at 07:24 AM

I'm thinking there is a solid, slashing reason why mummy doesn't simply reach into the grotto and pick up Alaska-kitty. I mean, a reason other than showing off the cute for us all.

Cheryl
 |  May 02, 2008 at 07:24 AM

Hey Cricket- I want to hear the parrot that sounds like a Siamese!

Talky kitties are wonderful bits of awesomeness. I think Alaska would probably also be a world-class cat yodeller!

"no you're not"

"mew-yes i am-mew..."

I swear, this is what I heard...

I was making my grocery list when I hit play. Here is my list:

apples
pears
skim milk
pasta
cheeky siamese cat
camouflaged cat carrier
spicy sausages
ice cream

I can't wait to pick up my groceries!

 |  May 02, 2008 at 07:27 AM

Oh i love this! i saw it on stuffonmycat and just lol. Is it just me or does anyone else think that British accents are some one of the prettiest (and sexiest) in the world? I love how this kitty is all like "its a nice day can't i stay out longer mommy"" hehe

 |  May 02, 2008 at 07:27 AM

That's the original "nyerhe"! Kitteh actually SAYS it twice at the end! Notice the intelligent look at the end when she finally gets what she wants (ten more minutos...)

Poohbear
 |  May 02, 2008 at 07:33 AM

Siamese cats are incredibly mouthy, especially the females.

A friend of mine had to keep her piano closed at night also. They'd get up there, play, and sing. And any time she talked on the phone to anyone, they'd hold their own "conversation."

Love the camouflage carrier!

Kris
 |  May 02, 2008 at 07:40 AM

Knowing cats, I suspect Alaska probably emerged from her grotto 30 seconds after mommy said it was ok to stay 10 more minutes. If she has permission, then it's no fun any more.

Desdemona
 |  May 02, 2008 at 07:43 AM

Well, I've been wondering how to pronounce "nyerhe." Now I know.

Juno
 |  May 02, 2008 at 07:47 AM

What a patient owner, I'd have said come here you little bugger and grabbed it, long ago.

Hon Glad
 |  May 02, 2008 at 07:51 AM

Okay. Meg - Everything you put on here is awesome. We all no this. But THIS... has to be the greatest thing I've ever seen. (I say that a lot.)

He almost sounds like a goat!

Just awesome.

I need that lady to come over with her lovely accent and tell my meezers that they are being cheeky.

Wow. I fail at the English language. *KNOW. We all KNOW. Not no.

Alaska is a fantastic name for a cat!

GOD I miss my Smeezers. Best cats ever, man.

the best part (at least for me) is the meoyawn at :44. She's saying I need to go sweepies in the breeze.

My God now I unnerstand, I gave birth to two Siamese Cats! "All right, 10 more minutes" Nyerhe......

"One more jump Roo dear, and we really must be going"

Kanga:Roo at any given playtime as he jumps for the 437th time and wants more.

 |  May 02, 2008 at 07:59 AM

Somehow, this cat reminds me of Rainman.... ;-)

Elizabeth
 |  May 02, 2008 at 08:02 AM

I love this video...have watched in way too many times.
But--not even a complaint, just wondering if memory serves--
wasn't this already on under something like "the definition of Nyerhe"?
b/c I know I watched it a 1,000 times before today, and where else could it have been from...????
ok, now going to watch it one more time
FYI all the videos of this cat on youtube rule
ok, I would be creeped out if people across the ocean were fans of my pet.

awww.. thats so cute.. I love how he never really opens his eyes all the way lol...

 |  May 02, 2008 at 08:17 AM

awwwwwwwwww i srsly hearts teh siameezes cuz deyz talks so mush! WAAAAAAAANNNTTTT!!!!!!111!!!

Once when I was bored out of my gourd at a party, I sat down in a corner with my hosts' Siamese and we carried on a conversation for a half hour. Everyone thought I was fried out of my head, but I was only drinking ginger ale. I shudder to think what it would have been like if I had been loaded! Have to try that some time. :-)

 |  May 02, 2008 at 08:17 AM

I am Siamese if you please,
I am Siamese if you don't please....

What kitteh is saying is,
"Oh blast, woman. Do leave me alone. Cahn't you see I'm not interested?"

(Of course, if it were me, I'd be tipping that carrier ever so slightly, and grabbing kitteh on the fly. It works when they have to go to the Vet's office!)

omg i can't stop giggling!

he's stated his position. he's not coming in and that is THAT!!

i love how his ears go down every time he says something. every time!!!

jen
 |  May 02, 2008 at 08:21 AM

Awwwwww sooo sweet. :3

So I've been wondering what NYERHE means. You guys say it all the time! What does it mean, how do you pronounce it, and where does it come from?

Meia
 |  May 02, 2008 at 08:23 AM

Meia, imagine that you're a two-year-old and your momma is trying to make you do something you don't want to do and you're resisting with all your two-year-old might and Momma picks you up to carry you and you hold on with all your two-year-old strength. The sound is the little grunting noise of denial and rage you make when Momma finally wrenches your two-year-old fingers off the arms of the sofa. NnnnnooooyyyyeerrHE!

AuntieMame
 |  May 02, 2008 at 08:34 AM

Oh my, that cat is cute if disobedient. XD My siamese come when called, but this one is quite cheeky!
And you know, I didn't notice the woman was British until other people pointed it out.

Ebby
 |  May 02, 2008 at 08:38 AM

What a GORGEOUS and fancy kitten! Clearly, shas MANY excellent thoughts on her mind.

My Arthur (who is an old fat, selectively-friendly / universally aloof, tabby - not NEARLY as exotic as Miss Alaska,) makes that noise at me when he is trying to sleep, and I am speaking too loudly (this often happens when I'm on the phone with my girlfriends and get excited, or when my boyfriend accuses of me of having too many shoes...)

I laughed (quietly to myself) when I heard her since I immediately thought that I probably need to lower my voice because somewhere, I was pissing off my own House Royalty for being too loud...

Hey anomalous4, remember that Irish Rovers song from 20 or so years ago, "Wasn't that a party"? One of the lyrics goes:

"Someone's under my kitchen table
talkin' to my old tom cat.
They were talkin' 'bout hockey.
The cat was talking back.
'Round about then everything went black,
wasn't that a party."

Alaska was talking about cricket, methinks.

OMG! that cat ate a LAMB and now it's crying from inside her belly!

muffy
 |  May 02, 2008 at 08:52 AM

right on kitteh, stay in your camouflage hangout place. :)

(for crying out loud Siamese kittehs are so beautiful!! the nose! it keels me)

Khadija
 |  May 02, 2008 at 08:55 AM

Oh, Alaska! You got 10 more minutes! Way to go, girl!

okaasan59
 |  May 02, 2008 at 08:58 AM

My Siamese does this quite a bit. He loves to come and tell me just how TRAGIC everything it. It's just a TRAVESTY mom, you just don't underSTAND! I swear he's a teenager; he's gotten very whiny in the last few months. :)

We hold conversations too - Siamese are great at that.

Tigger
 |  May 02, 2008 at 09:02 AM

Ugh, this is why I have a no siamese rule in my home. So freaking loud! Might as well get a yappy chihuahua.

God I love talking kitties.

I've had my fix for the day.

Here is a replay of this exchange, in a different area of the garden:

Miss Alaska sez Nyerhe! Someone is not getting her very broad hints!
