    Sounds just like my cat when he is in the window. At first, I thought he was sick, but then I noticed birds outside the window. It IS fun to watch.

    Sophie looks just like my cat, who makes the same noises. My cat from childhood also made the same chattering noises when 'birdwatching' from the windows

    My cat runs after the chooks while chattering ! It goes without saying that the chooks aren't impressed but they know that they are safe, he just plays. However, he hunts the pigeons that come in the backyard making the exact same noises ! It is pretty funny, it seems that he just cannot help himself, he's too excited, his bum shakes and he chatters like he's suffering from spasms ??

    It is very cute to watch. It facinates me though that even an inside kitten/cat who has never seen a bird knows what it is when they see it out the window for the first time

    my cat used to be a feral orphaned kitten on the brink of winter so we took her in. she makes these noises all the time. but she has seen birds before so i wonder how she feels. [color=aqua][/color]

    I took in an orphaned feral kitten and am learning so much about their peculiar behavior like the chirping. He was chirping and hunched down in the kitchen and I couldn't figure out why until he leaped up and actually caught a live fly! This kitty's got skills! It was so funny and it's always entertaining to watch. At least I am assured that it's not abnormal behavior bc I had never seen that with other cats I've been around ?

    We feed the birds outside the window where the cats can watch.  My mom used to refer to it as “kitty TV”

    My cat did the same thing today.  It was so odd. A mocking bird that was feeding her young in a heat did a face off with my cat who was being very relaxed Ns casual and not at alll in hunting mode.  The bird plopped diwmnabout 5 feet away from my cat and aggressively squawked.  Then a call a response stated within my cat. My cat chirped/ murmured in response. No attacking whatsoever. It was really funny.  Went on fur about 2 minutes straight.
