The Cats Meow: A rewarding challenge to all...... see inside for details..

The challenge: Capture your cat(s) meow/chirps/voice on video.
The reason: I wanna hear the meows. After listening to my kitties this morning, I realised how different they all are. Now I wanna hear yours.

The prize: Aside from showing off your cat(s), I will give the first 10 people, 1000 points each. (post if you don't want/need the points, and I will give them to someone else)

Disclaimer: No kitties to be harmed in getting their meows..... annoyed yes, harmed no.

You may post as many vids as you would like, but you will only get the points once.

Clear as mud?

Lets see (I mean hear) those meows.

What? No takers?

Lets hear those meows

Here's Kizzy and Kiwi:

I need to try and get Kiwi when he's excited.... it sounds like a cross between a chirp and squeek.

I don't need the points. I just like showing him off.

This is what I hear when I am too slow with his dinner.

Awww!!They are both so cute! i don't have any videos at the moment and my camera doesn't make good videos but Jake sounds kind of like Kizzy..he does the low mrrrrrew too...
And he also likes to sharpen his claws on my legs Can you believe it, they think we're their scratching posts!!! Lol I am not sure if it's kneading or just sharpening claws...

I've never posted up a video before and I didn't have a way to edit it down, so this may be pretty bad. This is Tre begging for me to pick him up and put him on my lap. Only one meow, but that's what he usually sounds like. I spent a couple of hours trying to get Promise's little squeak, but she just wouldn't cooperate.

Chris, that's too cute! I love it when our boys have littly girly voices!

Chester says "Mom, you're torturing me for no good reason!"

Here baby Emily meowing, I rescued her and then found a great home for her, here she is, I miss her so much!!

OK, here's another one of me feeding the guys. Pretty lousy video, but you can hear Thufir and Tiny's meows pretty well on this one. (Not looking for extra points, I just thought I'd add a couple more meows to the library.)

Chester and Tre both have such manly meows.... Baby Emily is too sweet... and as Laurie put it, my boys sound like girls LOL.



Thanks for posting..... keep those Meows, Chirps and chatters coming.

Thufir sounds like his meow is cut off midway LOL.... Its cute.

Tiny sounds like my Kitchi (when Kitchi isn't doing his half meows).

Sidenote: WOW..... Tiny looks great

I love how Thufir is meowing and almost purring at the end

Here's Kiwis breakfast whine:

please excuse the yellowness, the room lighting was horrid at 5am

Yep, Tre's meow is very demanding. A lot like a baby's cry. He's hard to ignore.

Thanks. He's really funny when he's running and meowing at the same time. It's like he cuts off his meow each time he bounces: Mr-mr-mr-mr-mrow

Thanks. You can see her go running in front of me at the beginning of the feeding video. What you can't see is that she nearly tripped me running past me towards the bathroom. That's a big change. Before she lost weight she would only walk slowly in that direction each time.

Thanks. He really does love his food, so I don't think he can contain himself when the food goes down. You can't really see it on him since his fur is grown out, but he has lost about 4 pounds this year, too.



I finally managed to get a couple of Promise's cute little squeak/meow last night, so here it is for the sake of completeness. Pretty poor quality video, but she doesn't talk a lot, so I have to get what I can.

Here is a clip of Nia. She is the most talkative of the three.

I posted a small and medium video size. First time using YouTube.

Small:
Medium:

Grogs: thanks for being a great sport Promise has a cute lil chirp eh.

Whiskers: I Nia....she has the cutest girly meow

OK. I've tried several times to video Billy or Flowerbelle meowing. Tried to get Lazlo to meow at dinner. Of course, the minute I give up they'll meow.

This isn't a very good video. This is all I had! Zoey is way more vocal than this but it gives you a good idea. Turn up your speakers!!
