Do cats growl?

[maherwoman]

Yep about the growl. Our Hobbes has a habit of growling at his sister whenever we give him certain toys, which she responds to by looking at him in wonder at what in the world he could possibly be so territorial about! Lol...

As far as the chirpesh sound...cats have a gland that helps them smell things in greater quantity and quality that they stimulate by making that sound. Seems strange, but it's something I've heard & read from several sources.

Some things just seem to bring out the HUNTERS in these cuties!

Sophie growls when she plays with some of her toys, like she's mad at them

Samson growled once over food....he growled at Emmy. She smacked him and he got the point. Samson will hiss, though, and his meows sound like squeaks...it's too cute! Emmy growls all the time, and chatters, and hisses....well, she's a very vocal cat. Ranger has NEVER hissed or growled.---just been hissed and growled AT. And his meows sound almost like he's yelling them.
