Emma's new blog

[gwyn]

After months and months of trying, I finally caught Emma on tape carrying her beloved flea comb around. It was very hard, and it's just a quickie video, but it's a rare sighting -- only a few select people have ever seen her do this. She carries it from room to room, talking loudly to it in meows, trills, and beeps. She no longer does a lot of her other seriously cute, weird behaviors, like hooking her back claws into the carpet, behind her head, and twisting around with her butt up over her head, but I'll settle for the flea comb because it's just high-larious. I set up an imeem account to upload the video, which is here and I also hope to upload more pics of her there so I won't have to deluge LJ with stupid cat pics. that sound in the background isn't a baby crying, it's her talking. She is really loud. Notice also the broken teeth -- years of carrying it have taken most of the teeth off on either end.

ETA: I sent it in to Cute Overload, my very favorite web site. I don't know if I'd be lucky enough to get it on there, but it can't hurt to try.

Hee, that's adorable! She is pretty loud, isn't she, even with the comb in her mouth. That's impressive.

Oh, God, that's hilarious. She really does talk to it, doesn't she?

Wow, she is very loud. She really does sound like a human baby!

You should deluge us with pics - she is cute.

*laughter*

cat pics not equal to "stupid", just for the record :)

(Annie is... concerned, though, wants to know just who is talking so loudly, when there aren't other cats here)

This behaviour is very, VERY similar to what Belle, the downstairs kitty, does with Roger, her stuffed toy kitten. She won't let you SEE her doing it... if you come across her carrying Roger, she will drop him INSTANTLY, and walk away, all "what stuffed kitten are you talking about? I don't have time for this nonsense." Yet strangely, Roger has appeared in every room in this house, on table tops, in chairs, in the back yard, in the front yard, out in the STREET, (she's not always a great Mom) and if you can approach unnoticed, you will hear her doing that same distinctive YOWLING thing, like she thinks she's a much bigger lion.

This is quite possibly the most insanely adorable thing I have ever seen IN MY LIFE.

We ended up playing it two or three times while our three cats went grumping and growling around the apartment looking for the cat who had dared to invade *their* turf.

They're still slinking around even now, and we're done playing.

Emma is wonderful.

Black and white cats are the best. My tabby does that walking and talking thing with socks.

Holy crap, that was adorable! What a sweetheart. And what a talker!

What a cute, portly kitty!

[kassrachel.livejournal.com]

That is seriously adorable. :-)

Alucard watched the video and chirruped at me as if to say, "My lord, that's a talkative one."

Ohhhhh. CUTEST!

And is there anything better than kitty trills? Not all cats do it, and I have such a soft spot for kitties that do. I once took in a pregnant feral cat (she ran into my garage during a storm), and when she had her kittens, I was just blown away by the way she sang to them -- long, lovely trills that were full of emotion!

My theory is that some mother cats do this, and their kittens grow up to be trillers. Whenever I greet a cat in my neighborhood, I trill at them like my wild baby taught me to. Some cats are very responsive to this kind of approach -- I think they are the ones who were trilled to by their mothers.

Anyway, my theory. Emma is a doll!

She is adorable doing the kitty rap and being all possessive with "her" comb. Great video!
