Je crie, donc je suis

What makes you laugh?

Every so often Louis Catorze loses his voice, most likely from too much screaming. When he tries to make a sound, he barely manages to emit a breathy wheeze. And nothing is more hilarious than this.

He doesn’t need medical attention, nor does this concern us in the slightest. Obviously if his voice disappeared permanently we would take him to the vet, but have seen this happen plenty of times and it always comes back, usually within minutes. 

Here is Cat Daddy, trying to engage Catorze in conversation just so that we can laugh at the breathy wheezing. It took some superhuman effort on my part to suppress my giggles enough to hold the camera still: 

Yes, that meowing at the very start is Cat Daddy.

It seems that Catorze only has two settings: Screaming and Off. I much prefer one, whereas Cat Daddy, when I asked him, answered without hesitation in favour of the other. 

I imagine you can guess which one of us likes which? 

Here’s a screaming sample, so that you can compare properly.

    Poor darling! Do they make catnip-flavored throat lozenges?

      Don’t feel sorry for him! It’s his own fault for never shutting up!

    The older Louis gets the more he resembles a human toddler, non ?

    Poor Catorze. He looks and sounds so very desperate.

      He definitely doesn’t deserve your sympathy. He brought this on himself!

    When Louis can no longer scream, he looks pathetic. You are lucky it doesn’t last 😺.

      His screaming gets worse by the day! I know I keep saying that, but it’s true.

    The second video reminds me of Floki. He’s a big talker but his voice is squeaky. I joked that we should have named him Squeaky.

        This is not perfect but you can get an idea of what Floki sounds like. https://youtu.be/MeqhgYpLthM?si=39lmJ6wJk1to6bni

    Aww 😿 Poor little dude is trying so hard! I wish some people at my job had an off switch 🙄I inadvertantly chopped a guys’ head off yesterday because he pissed me off. I’m not a total bitch, so I did apologize but still. I’ll take Catorze’ “screaming” over a humans’ anyday…😸

    He is very vocal. My cats are too but only when they want something.

      Catorze screams all the time, for no reason. 🤷‍♀️

        Sasha always has a reason. Sometimes it’s food and sometimes she wants attention or a brushing.

          Does she ever just fancy a chat? (Even if you don’t?)

            No. It’s usually “hurry up I’m hungry” or “get up I’m hungry” or “Isn’t it treat time?”

      Thank you! I will, if I can find him. (He’s either gadding about outside or asleep in his freezer bag.)

    Little Gigi is very vocal, but in such a cute way, I can’t begrudge it. However, if I am about to fall asleep or not ready to wake up, it is a bit more aggravating.
