Hello, I'm new to this board. I'll give alittle bit of background on my cat first.
Her name is Reeses (hence my name, Reeses Peanut Butter Cat)
She's a Calico that we got from a high school friend of my wife. She's about 14/15 months old and in good health. She just had a visit and everything was great, we just need to take her back and get her spayed.
We got her on Thursday and over the weekend she started making this sort of vocal purr noise, not an internal purr like cats usually make. She does it quite a bit, and they're very short. Last night while I was trying to fall asleep she would make this noise and sometimes follow it up with a meow that had the tone going up at the end like a "Meooow?"
She's a very friendly cat and we play with her for atleast an hour daily so I can't imagine that she feels starved for attention. Although before we got her she did live with 3 other cats, so I thought maybe she's homesick or missing them? She will do this noise even during play too like when she's stalking her favorite toy or even when she lands as she jumps off of something. I don't think she's in heat because she's not rubbing against anything (aside from normal cat behavior), not presenting herself, and not for the lack of a better word "humping" anything. She is following me around more this morning, when usually she doesn't. I have crutches and she's still a bit put off by them. I figure that behavior is because it's my wife's first day back to work since we got her and she might miss her, so she's attaching to me for the day.
Anyway, I tried my best to record the noise that Reeses is making. The recording is very loud because the noise was hard to pick up but you can hear it at the beginning and end of the clip.
