and to think I missed not having a dog

[CountAllVotes]

Dogs are great and I'd sure like to have one again. It is not a reality for me given my luck with dogs in the past.

I have my three cats still.

The youngest of the three is a Munchkin I adopted over 3 years ago at the local shelter.

She has become a very possessive cat!

She has very recently refined a couple of new skills:

1. She whistles now when very happy (very odd - I thought she had a respiratory infection or a cold or something but no, it is her whistling!).

2. She now growls and lets out almost a bark like sound when anyone comes around the house.

What in the world would I need a dog for if I have a cat that sets off an alert when anyone comes around the house?

Does anyone else have a cat the growls and lets out loud moans like this when people come around where you live.

I've owned cats my entire life and I never had one that exhibited the above behaviors.

Just when I thought I was bound to be dog-less for life, my cat has now taken over this role for our household. :D :D :D

1. My cats usually growl when they hear someone on the porch.

Their ears go up and I hear a low "Rrrrrrr." Not that they'd actually do anything if somebody broke in, but they do growl.

2. Impressive...

Going to share this with my cat loving DIL...mother of our new grandkits....z

3. I had one who called for bugs....

She would sit on the patio and look around at the rafters and really loud tell them to come out and play :evilgrin:
