Cat Talk 2
Growling, deep in the throat, meows:
hissing and spitting in anger
The tail whip-lashing back and forth
Turf guarded from an intruder
High-note, syllabic, short meow:
legitimized indignation
"Some cat-burglar has stolen food"
Moral grouse for litigation
A breathy, rumbling, purring sound:
often signifying pleasure
Vocal response to stimuli
The spontaneous sweet treasure
