My FI's cat at home does this, but she actually does it b/c she's too old to hunt but one of their other cats will occasionally catch a chipmunk or something and present it to the family. The other cat does this type of cry when she "hunts" a pair of socks or a small stuffed animal and wants to present it to the family! This might be what your cat is doing.Originally Posted by GingersMom
The other night, Ginger woke me up at about 5 a.m. with a very loud: "Meow-yow-yow-yow-YOW" that she kept repeating. I ignored her, as I usually do when I'm trying to stay sleeping, and later that morning, I walked around to the side of my bed where she'd been "talking" and found her favorite catnip toy lying there.
She talks to her toys, especially in the wee hours.
I wish I knew what she was being so emphatic about!
