SQUEAKING CAT
Heather Janine Meeker
When I pick up my cat, One O'Clock, she squeaks. It's a high, rising tone
like a squeaky toy makes. I have never had
another cat that did this. It's not a meow; I don't think it's even a
voluntary sound. It's like the air from her body is escaping through her
mouth. It happens when I reach around her middle to support her under
the front legs.
One O'Clock doesn't particularly like being picked up. She has
never liked being handled much--I got her from the pound and she probably
wasn't socialized as a kitten. But she doesn't seem to be in pain or
angry when she does this. She doesn't seem any more or less unhappy than
when I pick her up another way. She just goes . . .
SQUEEEEEK!
It's hysterical. Has anyone else experienced this?

Moontigger would have been named Squeak, if we had waited a few weeks
to name him. However, his older "siblings" seem to have given himvoice lessons while we were gone for a week. He now does a squeaky
meow on occasion. We keep hoping his voice will grow into his body.

Yet another squeaking cat. Meows- "AAAARK" (falsetto)! Brown Burmese -'Chika',
HeadCat of three younger kittys! 5 yrs old. V.vocal...and affectionate, albeit
a bit neurotic! He's getting better though after giving lots of attention.
Should have been called 'Squeaker Chika'. -Al-

I have a squeaker too, but she yaps as well. She's my yapper gyrl.
Lillian will squeak when I pick her up and give her a little
squeeze. I was showing a friend how she squeeked -- I gave
one squeeze and got a squeak, gave her another squeeze and out
came a squeak (we were laughing by then), gave her a third
squeeze and out of the other end came a giant FART.
I know she did that on purpose (=:

My Isabelle also squeaks when she jumps down. It cracks me up.
She has done that ever since I got her. When my husband first
heard her squeak, he thought something was wrong with her and
wanted me to take her to the vet. I asked him "What am I gonna
tell the vet, my kitten squeaks?"
My Katie (Isabelle's littermate) doesn't squeak but she grunts
when I pick her up. She doesn't like to be held so she will
grunt like a little piggie until I put her down.

I like your sig line.
Yes, Ace does it. Also she does a variant which is definitely annoyed.
When annoyed, she will struggle a little to be let down. But with the
other squeek she will be content to be carried around. And sometimes
she makes no noise at all. Who nose? There are many mysteries about
cats, this is just a minor one, eh?

Snippers squeeks but in a different way. At first, I thought he was
hacking up a hairball, but it seems his throat is just clogged (I guess)
he is a domestic longhair who seldom drinks liquids. Is this true? The
squeeking is quite loud. I heard him from across the street easily one
time. He makes *loud* squeeks at about one second intervals for about
half a minute. Is this dangerous? He does it about once or twice a month
that I see...чі
