Title: Why does Mac act weird at bedtime?
Post by: MandyG on January 28, 2011, 10:38:45 AM
My 6 year old moggie Mac (who I've had for a year) makes me laugh every night when it's bedtime, but a the same time I'm curious about his behaviour.

He sleeps on my bed and when I say it's bedtime he's up the stairs and on the bed waiting for me.  As soon as I get under the covers he starts his ritual of roaming around the bed and kneading the throw rug.  Okay so far, I understand all that.  But what makes me die is the noises he makes if I touch him.  He'll turn to me, and move his body away with a real open-mouth yeow sound, almost like a Siamese.  It's a very indignant sound.   If I don't touch him he just keeps prowling until he finds his spot, and then he settles down fine. 

I have to say, it's so funny that sometimes I just touch him to make him talk.

Any ideas?

No idea but would be interested to know the answer! Both my boys make that same open-mouth yeowling sound, normally late at night too  :shify:

Franta does it at any time of night or day and usually from as far away from the room I am in as possible!
