Kirst, our Uncle M used to do that and he didn't even have the excuse of being a Birman! His 'toilet trick' we used to call it. When he was young I lived in a shared house, the loo door of which would't shut properly. Oh, the hours of fun he had! It was especially good with unsuspecting visitors.

Not just pedigrees who do the talking - in outr case Minmin Raggie is vocal but so are the clan moggies and ferals - Blue mr nasty feral now yowls at me for cat milk just in case I have forgotton to top up the family room bowl he then has to walk to the kitchen :rofl:

Now the dogs have satarted talking to especially when Sky is being given in to trouble for opening doors in his haste to go out and play ball :shocked:

I can hold a perfect converdation and one of the darling s will answer in the right place :rofl:

Oh I used to have a cat that did that and would if anyone phoned and I was talking would sit with her mouth near the mouth piece and meow down it at all the right places.  Those that knew me and my cats well would always say Hello Tasha when she did this and she would answer back which at times was funny and she had done it from being a kitten.  Sadly lost her 2 years ago come the 22nd January due to her kidneys suddenly failing the first signs was she refused food and as this was not her took her straight to the vets that run blood tests which came back complete renal failure, bear in mind this cat was eating normally the day before and playing normally and was basically overnight her kidneys failed on her.

My Napkin is the same way... drives me bonkers sometimes going from room to room MWROR! MWROR! MWROR! at the top of her lungs (which is quite loud) She was taken to the vet for this ages ago, when she was a kitten, and we were told that that's just how she is. We've tried various things to quiet her, nothing works... not even pointing the TV remote at her and pushing the volume down helps!

Birmans !!

I get scared now every time he licks cos most times it ends up in a bite and when I try to stop him licking he thinks I am playing ...........maybe!  and it makes him more determined to get a chunk if me!

Ducha is also a nipper and he uses it if he doesnt get his own way or you have made him annoyed in some way.

Mosi is a noisy so and so too as well as having demanding feeding time rituals.  This morning he ate about a third and then wandered away knowing full well I'd follow after him with the bowl (because I don't want Jaffa eating his food - hi life and some biccies not a good combo for senior cats).  So I ended up feeding him the rest on top of a bookshelf.  he wolfed it down in a couple of minutes.

I am afraid Franta and Ducha are doing this too and I just dose off to sleep which is hard for me at best of times, and then Franta starts.

He has just eaten and he will be sitting by the side of the bed.........sigh

I too wish I spoke birman

If you are at all concerned about this then would advise that you took him to the vet or if it is totally out of character is best to get it checked out.

Oh its totally IN Character - he's a Birman , who are renowned for shouting. There is nowt wrong with him , he is just  , shall we say , 'High Maintenance'

His latest foible is demanding dinner , eating three mouthfulls , then wandering off and 20 minutes later shouting for more food. Unfortunatley he has yet to realize that with four other cats about his chances of any dinner being left are few so we now have to feed him a third of a pouch at a time. He still refused to eat anywhere but in a bed - he chooses which one! :tired:


He is still my fluffy little fairy-cat tho! :Luv: :Luv:
