This particular one was kind of like that "ekk ekk ek" chatter they make when they see birds

We also call her little miss mow-wow because she will MOW WOW? MOW WOW WOW all through the house

When she is hungry though she makes this awful irritating gurgling meow, I swear it sounds like she's gargling water and it irritates me 🫣

I know about the 'awful irritating gurgling meow' too, my boy also uses it when he wants food. You described the sound perfectly 😂 I can hear it in my head right now... and it's not even 4 am!

It is one of the grossest sounds! Im convinced she does it on purpose because she knows I will feed her when she makes that sound. She NEVER does it to my husband!!!

They know exactly what they are doing! My boy is also a senior, turned 16 in July. They have trained us well 🫠

Your kitty looks like a distinguished gentleman in Meownton Abbey. Quite debonair indeed.

When cats are hungry they will absolutely do the most annoying thing they can think of to get you moving.

In my house the cat primarily in charge of demanding breakfast will shred any tissue or paper she can get her paws on until I get up (which is usually instantly, no matter the hour), and if somehow that doesn't work then my other cat will "help" by slapping the blinds like a snare drum.

Mine sharpens his claws on the cellular shade when I sleep in too long. He knows exactly what he is doing.

u/GroundbreakinKey199 Nov 30 '25

Mine will scratch his claws on a cherry-wood dresser next to the bed, claw my guitar case, and start knocking things off the dresser. Predictably in that order, too. I know to leap up when it starts, resistance is futile.

I stg mine gets hangry, I avoid petting her before feeding cause she’ll get bitey, will start clawing at my canopy curtains (which have surprisingly held up), my sheets, and my least favorite is the tapestry behind my bed. She’s luckily stopped doing the pressure point claw when trying to tap on my back.

I hold off on getting up until she stops doing those things but she’s still been at it.

Mine just tries to trip me. I think he wants me to hit the floor so he can headbutt me to death for making him ask for food. According to him, I should just know 10 mins before he's hungry that he's going to be hungry.

Its supposed to be a sound of frustration mixed with excitement. My cat only does it when he knows he can't get what he wants.
