Did you hear something?
We kitties are always on the alert to possible attacks from unidentified flying/swooping/diving objects/insects/animals/anthros and I am seriously attentive to those strange sounds in the night that sound as if someone has dropped a really BIG popcorn machine (Loulou, it’s only our refrigerator talking–but you are right — what on earth makes a refrigerator have CRACKING/POPPING sounds?)
And what is that strange creaking noise as if someone or something were being strangled? (Loulou, that’s our next-door neighbor’s electric window shutters, needing WD40, haha!)
Not to mention that ear-shattering zoom, zoom, zoom over our house some days when the air force is out practicing in their jets! (Sound barrier, Loulou, you know what a sound barrier is, right?)
You’d think there is a conspiracy to scare the wits out of kitties when they are politely minding their own business and trying to have a quiet and peaceful day!
Probably thought up by DOGGIES who envy our equanimity, whatever that is.
I’m staying right here on the bed where I can duck under my duvet when the next blast/screech/rumble/’splosion takes place!
And for the record, DO NOT believe whoever it was who coined the phrase, “fraidy cats”, okay?
And don’t forget:
Not to mention when they start shooting fireworks off, Loulou. That’s the worst noise of all!
Yes, and here it is Asumption today, a religious celebration and tomorrow fireworks in our little ville! I’m getting comfy under the bed with ear plugs, haha.
Shame, Loulou, I also hate loud noises. There’s nothing ‘fraidy cat about it. 😉
Well, even mama and papa can’t abide loud and so we’re in agreement about music, etc. I do love a flute that mama puts on sometimes to give me a little zen nap….
WELL, Loulou – be glad you don’t have upstairs neighbors with a toddler – that would drive you nutz!!! We’ve gotten used to it – and they’ve probably gotten used to our tv and music – but the garbage rolling out from behind the apartment at 5 AM – sometimes earlier – is what gets me! If our refrigerator made noises, I would suspect there was someone IN there eating all the food!
Ha ha, probably another Mya who learned from YOU, you cute doggy.
LouLou you look like you are never going to get any decent rest with all that noise around your home! The refrigerator noise sounds familiar – our ice dispenser makes weird noises like that when it’s making ice in the refrigerator…..As for the strangling sound – well – purrrrrhaps someone is exercising and making weird noises as they try to touch their toes or do a situp???? Swooping and zooming is something WE here all the time as we live near an Army base….SO MUCH NOISE – how are we supposed to get our BEAUTY SLEEP???!!
Hugs, Teddy
Wow, you have it much worse than I! Maybe ear plugs next time or mama could just put her nice wam hands over my ears for 18 hours.
You poor kitty.
I’m just faking worry….I’m out like a light during most of these weird cracklings.
Ah – but think of the joyful noise of the can opener…
Aha…pop tops around here. Mama searched for a can opener two days ago when her pop top tomatoes wouldn’t pop. But yes, the sound of it would be really nice for kitties….
Yikes, that could be a very scary sound, especially at night! Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Oh, my plaisire!
