While chatting with AngelzOO in another thread about Ferrets, I was reminded of an incident that occurs at my house often. A question I have always wanted an answer to......
Most of you already know that we built a big cat enclosure in our back yard for our boys....but for those who don't...we built a big cat enclosure in our back yard for our boys <grin>
Either we have mean Geico squirrels in our back yard OR my yard squirrels are little Einsteins.....
The Squirrels in my back yard seem to have learned that our cats cannot get out of the cage to harm them. In the early mornings and evenings, these squirrels grab hold of the chicken wire, chattering and twitching their little tales—it's as if they are having a contest with each other "Whoever can p_ss off my cat first, wins an acorn"... (Actually, It's really funny, I should record it)
Anyway - my cats make a funny noise and I was wondering what it is??????
I'll try to type the noise that my cats make - here goes:
(Sounds like a mini machine gun) eheh eheh ehehe eh eheh -
Now picture this noise going on while their whiskers twitch, their eyes remained locked on squirrel with drool dripping from the corner of their mouth...... My educated guess is that is a hunting thing. So here's my question, what is this noise they make?
