This is my cat.

I don't care.

She's too cute.

I literally just pet her while typing this. She's sat on a shelf next to my dest, looking out of the window. When I did she let out a loud, surprised/indignant MRRP and then glared at me. I pet her again. Her eyes narrowed and she looked back out of the window.

'Scuse you, she's busy stalking birds right now! Don't remind her she's actually indoors, that's like your mom interrupting your video game!

When you get up, grab a wand toy and waggle it for her to pounce at awhile and then give her a crunchy treat, like it's the bones of that chickadee out there.

I jus tsurprised her. She gets easily startled, poor thing, and I am strangely quiet. I accidentally sneak up on her all the time. She is currently standing on my shoulders and purring LOUDLY.

Awww! Maybe it's you who needs to wear a bell.

I thought MRRP is universally understood as a "hello"? Or does she speak a different cat language?

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh it's definitely hello but think about how we use that same word in English. We can go from a friendly greeting, to an exclamation of surprise, to yelling it in rage. Mrrp no different.

Makes sense! That's why I tell kitties how cute they are before I pet them - no surprise.
