I can always tell when Dude and Willow are both around because they talk to each other. Willow makes a deep BRRRRRRRRRR! sound, while Dude's sound is a much higher Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
This usually starts when Dude is telling Willow he's just going to walk past her and please don't chase me, with full eye contact as he goes past, and she responds with the low-pitched chirring sound. There can be several such exchanges in a day. It's really quite sweet. Usually she's polite and doesn't go after him, though sometimes she pushes the envelope a bit by chasing him a bit anyway. It's sort of her shtick, being a friendly jerk.
The same exchange can start when actual play is initiated, usually by Willow but more frequently by Dude.
Do cats normally talk to each other?
