Chattering – An Interesting Response
Chattering is the weird noise cats make, usually in viewing birds or small animals through a window. It is a reaction that is part excitement and part frustration, manifesting their natural predatory instinct. It sounds almost like a click, invariably paired with fluttering jaws.
Some others view chattering that may resemble the cries of some prey could attract them closer in the wild. The concept, however is not widely accepted. Nevertheless, it showcases the hunting potential of a cat even in domestic lives.
Chattering is another way that cats communicate their focus and anticipation. It is almost as if their brains are planning a hunt, even though they can’t physically get to the object of their desire. Seeing your cat chatter is both entertaining and a reminder of their complex inner lives.
