I love chatty cats.
What I don’t love is how mine will harass me excessively as I’m preparing for work. He’ll just scream at me to let him out, like, fuck you man I still have like 10 minutes of showering and making coffee and shit you can go outside when I leave. This is how it is every day.
Yes, I know you shouldn’t let your cat outside, but he’s at least 10 years old, he’s set in his ways, he will unleash hell if impounded.
chatty cats are the absolute best
My one cat is soooo loud. Her face thing is to come up to me while I’m on work calls and meow right into the microphone.
There are people who dislike that??
I always think it’s wonderful when you and an animal can communicate. It might not always be as effective, but it’s an important part of connecting with someone. Human or animal.
One of my cats has a high voice and has learned to do perfect attention-seeking sad meows when she wants attention and is too lazy to find me, and sings a loud frantic song to motivate me as I prepare food.
The other one purrs with the depth and volume of a large diesel engine, but mostly only lets out her low raspy meow to complain, which could be anything from “open the window” to “why did you stop petting me for .5 seconds?”
If I were casting voices for them in some type of Homeward Bound-type movie, they’d be Mila Kunis and Jennifer Tilly respectively.
i have one that if he is moving within sight of me he is meowing, it’s so cute as his little bounces affect the meows. the other one is super stealthy, until he has to poop, and then lets the while neighborhood know with a few minutes of outright yowls first. and yes, he’s fine, he’s just done it for 14 years
Not at 3 a.m.
One of mine let’s out the cutest little meow every time I reach out to pet her. I live for that little mow!
They are subcatagory of “people who hate cats.” Of course they suck.
Fair, but there is definitely a line between chatty and psychological warfare. Not all cats are built equal and some of them want to see it to that a good night’s sleep is forever out of reach. That’ll literally drive you crazy, regardless of what mindset the silly humie is bringing
Mine are fairly quiet vocally, but I’ll be God damned if they ever let me catch a full night’s rest. The hours of 3-5a are crash bang time.
yeah, i kept waking up with unexplained little bruises on my thighs and belly. stayed awake past midnight one night and saw my orange dishpit waggling his butt as he prepared to pounce on my crotch. bruises were the same size as his paws.
This is me and my cat.
During the day I love conversing with her but when she wants to kick me out of my room at 3 AM I question my sanity.
Well, it’s 3am, run around the house with her for a bit!
(She might not have anyone else to do it with?)/s
She has co-felines plus I give her all sorts of attention during the day, as well lol.
She just doesn’t like me being in “her” space too long sometimes 😂
Lol, feline war cries at 3am - to battle!
(Stay strong.)Explain to her that you talked about her oppressive habit online, maybe she’ll become introspective & reflect on the matter :D.
(Also I’m glad she has other normal cats around <3.)
Oof. I could not deal tbh. Closest I’ve come to this is a past roommates feline fellow (my two cats are more into claw-sports than yodeling; a very different kind of frustrating lol). He is otherwise a little sweetheart, but I definitely do not have the patience and strength of will she has in handling that near-everyday intrusion on her sleep. She is a saint, saddled with a cute little devil lol
We used to have a tabby that would wake me up at night for cuddles and pets. Often I’d lift up the blankets and she would curl up against me, under the covers, and stay there for 15-20 minutes (occasionally a lot longer).
I miss her so much.
One of our tuxedo cats usually doesn’t wake me, but if he realizes I’m awake, he’ll sometimes demand pets and cuddles.
My cat only meows when she’s upset or annoyed or angry. Her trills are so cute when she does, though. What I’d do for a chatty cat!
My cat is a bastard, a grouchy, always hungry curmudgeon. He does not sing, he yells at you with a voice like Lemmy Killmeister smoking and gargling Jack Daniels.
I totally would hang with your cat! I might even record him and put him over an industrial beat.
Slam poetry style.
Meow,
My life is fart.
Meow,
And if you’re smart.
Meow,
You’ll fucking feed me!
I love you so much xd
¡Egualmente!
I have considered doing exactly that several times. The thing is, he won’t make a peep when I start recording.
ABCR, always be cat recording
Hmm… maybe you need to negotiate a deal first. Tell them you’ll give them a treat in exchange for a recording, then let them think about it for a while.
He’s more likely to smash a cheeseburger into my mixing console for trying to make him do work.
Here’s a version with less weird whitespace.
Here’s a version with even less weird whitespace.
Even less white space

Some negative space is good, but not zero, and not too much. 😆
All she has to say is “feed me.”
I don’t feed you. The automatic feeder will feed at the same time it feeds you every day.
Aw a cute little very loud unending song at 3:30 in the morning when I have work the next day, how kind!
Meeerrroowwww!
